There are many signs that M$ is in trouble and that Vista is a
failure. This is going to be a list of those signs. This is what
Vista looks like to me. It is such a flop it can take M$ down,
which would put an end to their attacks on free software, free
software advocates and reasonable standards. Vista's failure is the
predicted, practical result of a business model that tries to keep
customers helpless and divided.

Vista cant fail. It comes with all new computers. That's MS bread
and butter. Within three to five years XP will have disappeared in
the home environment. MS will quietly extend XP support beyond what
was intended, specifications of PCs will continue to increase
masking the poor performance of Vista. Give it a few years we will
all wonder what the fuss was about.

Give it a few years and MS might come up with the OS they originally
promised.

PS I started to piss myself laughing at the idea that linux will
become a mass accepted home operating system. It isnt even close.

Depends on game manufacturers.

Depends on the linux end.

Right now there are too many linux distributions, kernels and hardware
platforms from the view point of game writers.

On offer is a possibe market share increase of a few paltry percent.

Given the massive complexity of coding modern games even for the
uniform directX/win32 market, this isn't worth it for them.

Whatever happened to the version of Linux which would run Windows
applications ? Lindows, wasn't it to be called ?

Why not just get Windows?

Windows no longer runs on inexpensive hardware, for one thing.
