Vista - Re: It's been fun, folks ...

Alias,

I'm not sure if you are still reading this newsgroup, but except for those
trolls and endless fights (not just you and I am also one of guilty
parties), it's been fun.

I have learned many things and also confirmed many I already knew, so I
guess it's time for me to leave as well.

I can assure you nothing other than the market will (and has always been)
adjust itself by consumer needs and how business responded to those needs.
In other words, all we have to do is to focus on what we should do as a
business and a consumer.

So good luck to you and everyone here for one purpose or the other.

Well you are correct that the market will eventually decide, but it may
be a landslide decision. WGA was said not to be a kill switch earlier

but as we see MS weren't exactly lying, it is activation that has become
the kill switch.

Now, this is making absolutley no difference to the pirates, MS are
still losing money, but it's really annoying a lot of genuine customers
who do pay and do voluntarily follow the rules.


Activation has probably committed Microsoft to a huge loss both ways for
some time to come.
