  1. Comment - Microsoft slashes Windows Vista retail price in surprise move

    (Mar 2, 2008 - 10:45 PM)

    I am never one to compliment anything MS does, but I think the biggest thing is MS did such a good job on XP that there just isn't a reason to switch. Given it took 2 service packs and a boat load of hot fixes, but the fact remains its a good OS. There is nothing short of purchasing the right software that Vista can do that XP can't.

    I also feel people just aren't excepting the MS mentality any more. The old force it down your throat method. You can't buy a store bought PC that has XP on it anymore unless you want to pay extra and that still may not be an option.

    Then of course theres the hardware argument. Many have just finished replacing there old Win9x boxes with Windows XP machines or have just flat upgraded to Windows XP. Why spend more money on hardware just so you can once again have a computer that doesn't run anything do to all the compatibility issues with Vista.

    MS will at this point will do as it always does. Lower the price, then they'll stop selling XP, then they'll stop supporting XP. Of course by that time. MS will have another OS that promises to be better that the one previous and they'll try to shove that down your throat as well. God for bid they actually listen to the customer and give them what they want. That would make to much sense.

    You need to read the story on Toms Hardware. TV shows are estimated around a $1, but movies would probably be the same cost as a DVD. If it cost as much as a DVD why waist my time downloading it. I could run up the street and buy it for the same price. If thats the case this will die before it starts.
