    Everyone know, Microsoft fail from the leader of computer market. It will become big fat daddy like IBM. I sure that microsoft do not put effort on their products anymore. Is this the beginning of darkage of microsoft , OS or computer world.... ?

    You can't be serious. I'm not a huge Microsoft fan but I know they put a lot of effort into their work -- Vista is one of the largest software products EVER. Microsoft is even working on a new OS that will be much lighter on system resources and much more compatible with other hardware. While Microsoft does have its fair share of evil marketing, without Microsoft we'd have much crappier standards for operating systems and software. Think about it -- PowerPoint, Excel, Access, and Word are some awesome applications. The only software I can't stand from Microsoft would be Internet Explorer, it's a garbage program, really.

    Thank you for your great reply.

    Yeah , that's right.


    I don't think Vista can be any great. It's like old era of win98 -> winme. It's use huge resource to run it properly.

    No new windows will use fewer resource.

    I'm sure about it's time to move from old grandfather 32 bits OS to 64 bits OS but I'm not found any significant moving from Microsoft. Microsoft is weak and old after Bill quit from microsoft board.

    The basic thing that Microsoft needs to do now is to switch to 64bit OS'es. Vista is about as far as you can go using 32 bit, because you need at least 2gigs of RAM to like it, and 32 bit vista only supports up to 3.2gb of RAM, to be successfull, they need to take a risk and go 64 bit.

    Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2003 and Windwos Server 2008 is already available in 64-bit, so there's nothing to risk!
