Vista - Re: Reports: Intel to skip Vista upgrade

07-01-2008

Maybe they know something we don't. Maybe Windows 7 is coming next year? I
could only pray. I want to play with it!

I love Vista, but for many corporations, it just isn't worth the price
(software plus higher hardware requirements, possible whole new computers
around the whole place). It works great with Windows Server 2008. But, you
said, the same happened with Windows XP. Lots of people and corporations
said there just wasn't any reason to upgrade from Windows 2000...

But, MANY people said there was plenty of reasons to upgrade from Windows
ME!

Even Microsoft skipped that generation.

(Yes, I know it was a
consumer OS, I am just joking.
