DRAM Makers Suffer Due to Lackluster Vista Adoption
quixote9 writes "We've heard conflicting estimates of how widely adopted Vista has been. Now comes some hard data. DRAM makers ramped up to meet the huge expected demand for more memory needed by Vista. Except the demand hasn't materialized. Now they're suffering. Alternatively, maybe everyone's cleverly hacked their Ultimate Aero Glass Vista to fit on their old PCs."
Please, please let me know where you got the crack you're smoking.
... don't you think there's demand for new computers?
XP is six years old
No, not really. Unlike Linux, (I'm saying this because you're obviously a fanboy), 6 years ago, XP was pretty much a mature, functioning OS. Linux is still playing catch-up, hence the need for constant software updating. Believe it or not, no, there is NOT a good reason to upgrade to Vista for most people. XP works just fine. But, when I (and everybody else) buys new PC's, they'll come with Vista, and that'll be just fine, too.
Unlike the Windoze time of the month, free software upgrades make things better.
Yeah, assuming you don't have anything better to do with all of that time spent "upgrading".
2007 is the year of Linux.
Suuuure, it is. Just like 1997 was. And 1998. And 1999. And 2000. And 2001... Yeah, I'll believe that when I see it.
I don't respond to AC's.
