Default Vista cannot and will not replace XP. Case Closed

It's very secure, because not much of it works, and almost nothing works
when MS downloads un update.

Talking of businesses, Vista (like Acrobat) is part of the modern business
model, the sole purpose of which seems to be to drive end users MAD.

We must realize that times have changed, Windows XP is built on a way more
robust codebase compared to Windows 9x. So it stands the test of time more
confidently especially after years of Service Packs Windows XP has become
a mature product and a lot has been built on and for the platform.

But Vista is more fundamentally secure, and users and businesses will
require the changes in security that the platform offers making it a no
questions asked move to Vista.

Andre, there is a category of people who have very hard time accepting
any change. They cut their own nose but do what they please.

In 3 years they will be running around with green faces looking for
drivers and envious of software that has been developed for Vista only
and they cannot use it in XP.

People said the same thing about Windows 3.1, 95, NT 4, 98, 98 SE, 2000
and ME.

I guess its good luck. The point remains though, no one is forcing
anyone to upgrade.

As you can read in the above article, my words exactly.. Im getting
bored of being right all the time.

As I have said before, microsoft will be forced to extend support of
XP for a very long time...

Only if they make the next version of windows (called windows 7)
better than the monstrosity called vista, will XP be retired
You read the article. You forgot to read the reader comments. It must
be a terrible burden being right all the time, huh?
