Comments on: Reports: Intel to skip Vista upgrade

In another blow to the maligned operating system, Intel plans to skip a widescale Vista deployment, according to two reports.

Linux is looking better and better all the time

Time for Mac OS X to come to mainstream PC boxes? It seems that if Apple can swoop in and run on non-Apple hardware, they can grab some great market share. It all comes down to Windows 7. When it is released, people will have to make a choice, stick with XP (very old at that point) or go to Windows 7. If it's a no-show, then maybe running OX S on their current box would be a viable option.

I know, I know. You can run Linux with KDE4 or Ubuntu right now on mainstream boxes. But, come on. I've used both and Linux comes up lacking.

I've used Linux too. I abandoned Red Hat in '03 when they abandoned the consumer. I got a Mac G3 to supplement my Windows XP Desktop. Only when that XP Desktop died, did I replace it with a Compaq Presario SR5113WM. Vista was a pain from the start and although I resolved a multitude of issues, Service Pack 1 STILL WILL NOT INSTALL ON THIS SYSTEM, and I'm not so sure that's a bad thing with the Service Pack 1 problems I've been hearing about. On June 30th, XP comes off the shelves and you won't be able to buy a system with XP on it. Vista only. The Macbook Pro is looking like my next migration path. One system that can dual boot Mac OS and Windows. That's what I'm going to do irregardless of what MS comes up with in Windows 7. It sucks that we all waited seven years for such a major disappointment. I bought The Compaq to learn Vista in anticipation of having to support it at work but guess what? They refuse to use it at work. WHAT A JOKE!!

this is not a big deal. a lot of companies are just upgrading to XP. I know several that just upgraded to XP less then a year ago. Some that are still running 2000. Doesn't mean XP is bad nor vista it just promotes what we all ready know. companies do not upgrade as quickly as consumers. They have to much to lose if a program is not compatiable. and that is not microsoft's fault it leans more to the developers.

Buy a good computer and vista runs fine, now. Most of you people don;t have vista and just want to talk sh## because you can't afford a vista machine.

I have Mac G5 (dual core), Mac Pro (8 cores), Mac Mini (G4)
I have PCs, those have Vista Ultimate 64, Ultimate 32, and Business 32, XP, plus several Dual core laptops..

Enough say?

One could say Microsoft is stuck in the same spot Apple Computer was with their OS 7. That OS was in use as long as Windows XP without any major improvements - and the following Mac OS 8 and 9 were only tweaks to the system before they chucked it all for OS 10. It seems that like it or not, Microsoft will have to follow Apple's example sooner or later and build a new OS from scratch, rather than building on old technology. Then won't the IT departments and back room innovators howl.
