As microsoft has launch many operating systems and almost their operating systems are being used by every one so now a days as the technology world is getting fast so how will they challange with this? with what product?
I think they'll carry on working on Windows and as reported above Windows 7 is coming out next. The best thing Microsoft has done recently is Live Cashback engine and Silverlight, which is supposed to replace Flash hopefully.
Hope they offer a hammer next time they sell some shitty product. Ah and a shotgun. That way we can wreck our PC and kill ourselfs.
The worst part is that with every new OS version that comes out it gets even worse. I could still remember those days when I was using Windows 95 on my school computer lab. There was hardly any crash and very rare. Those crashes become apparent after 98 started.
I heard that all, "Windows" branded software was to be discontinued after Vista. the next piece of sftware would be completely different and based upon networks rather than a single PC. I am no expert though.
No doubt when i eventually decide to go down the vista road there will quickly be a new product on the market soon after.
Well in fact vista is going to be discontinued very shortly as vista as it is now is not what vista was meant to be the project named windows 7 is actually vista and what vista was meant to be. have a look on msbeta forums for more info on it.
