I guess this will burn the behinds of many fanboys (frank included)
but I told you that this would happen. At first no one believed me..
but slowly people started to wake up, now its common knowledge, and only
a few dorks cling the the worse OS microsft ever made.
You all didnt want to listen then, perhaps you will listen now.

Microsoft Gives Up on Vista
( Page 1 of 2 )
The question now isn't "Is Vista Dead?" It is. The real question is: Can
Microsoft get Windows 7 out in time to save its desktop domination? I think
Microsoft "could" pull it off. Here's how.
Vista is dead.
That's not what Bill Gates said at a seminar on corporate philanthropy in
Miami on April 4, but it might as well have been. What Gates actually said,
according to the Reuters report, is that he expects that the next desktop
version of Windows, Windows 7, would be released "sometime in the next year
or so."
Goodbye Vista. It has not been fun knowing you.
I predicted that Microsoft was giving up on Vista in January. It seems I was
right. Microsoft's own top brass had hated Vista when it first came out, why
should they expect anyone else to like it?
Vista SP1 has proven to be a painful upgrade and its performance still lags
behind XP SP2 and, the still unreleased XP SP3. Worse still, from a
Microsoft executive's viewpoint, Windows is actually losing desktop market
share to Mac OS X and Linux. Microsoft never loses desktop market share. But
with Vista Microsoft is finally losing customers.
I think Microsoft saw the handwriting on the wall early on. The company
started playing up Windows 7 as early as July 2007. Now, Microsoft's
business plan is always to get its customers to upgrade to the next version.
It's how they make their billions. But, in this case, Vista was barely out
the door.
Can Microsoft actually make a Windows 7 that can ship by 2009 that will win
customers? Vista was infamous for its blown deadlines. Windows 7 must not
only replace the failed Vista, it has to convince Microsoft's customers that
Windows 7 will really be better than XP.
That isn't going to be easy. I find it more than a little telling that
Microsoft has given XP Home a new lease on life for UMPC (Ultra Mobile PCs).
Still. I think Microsoft has one card up its sleeve that just might keep its
customers happy and make it out in 2009: Server 2008 Workstation.

You just format the drive , Clive

Install XP, Lee
