Vista released

Yes, I know I did never say anything about writing an article on the Forum which is why I will post it here too.

Yes, it has happened Microsoft released Vista, the follow up to XP, now this release is only to corporate customers, which means that you can not go into a store and purchase a copy of any Vista version until 30th January 2007. Further it is likely that Vista will be the last OS in other words Microsoft may go ahead and make future updates modular, and some of those payed for...-_-...yes Vista will look a lot like Mac OS and further the updating system might work the same way...-_-.

I would really love to be able to stick with XP personally, but eventually even I will have to switch since things such as DirectX 10 will be Vista only products and support will probably be terminated soon too-_-...

Now the only way in which Vista will win is if the users buy it of course if Vista doesn't sell Microsoft would go down, since Windows makes up nearly 50% of Microsoft income. And of course there are still some issues to be worked out such as compatibility with soft and hardware and of course the question if hackers will manage to hack into the 'secure' Vista.
So lets see what happens.
Any thought you want to add...?
