Microsoft has announced that it will phase out Windows XP by year’s end, despite the ongoing problems Vista has been facing (see for example my previous posts and here). I think this could be a very serious mistake for Microsoft, given the widespread compatibility, performance and stability issues Vista faces. There’s a serious chance this could drive some users to other platforms. This certainly applies to me – my next computer will be a Mac for sure.
Welcome to the Dark Side! It’s nice over here, and you can still run your current copy of XP for Old Time’s Sake… (How else will you get to experience the Joy of Viruses?)
