I think the problem is that Google has lots of good ideas and big goals, but they always end up releasing their products half-baked--always promising more features as time moves on. Most users aren't patient enough to deal with a buggy product, waiting on the promise of a better product at some unknown point in the future.
""maybe everyone's cleverly hacked their Ultimate Aero Glass Vista to fit on their old PCs.""
Or Microsoft may be lying about how many copies of Vista have been sold.
I'm not talking about putting the same licenses on different cars. I'm talking about modifying cars. When I drive a car off of the lot, I can add as many components to that car as I wish (or upgrade, if you will).
Anybody hear about the new cars? You buy them and you can only add one new component. After that, you've got to buy another one.
Also, have you heard about the houses you can buy? You can only renovate them or add on to them one time.
What?!? Doesn't make sense?
That's because when you buy something you should be able to do what you want with it. The license is yours. When I buy a new car, I transfer my license the the new car. The license is mine.
I seem to remember them postponing Windows NT Service Pack 7 "for a later date" at one time. Then, it was Service Pack 5 for Windows 2000. Both of those never saw the light of day. Sounds like they're putting off SP3 for XP until it sinks into the abyss.

Oh, no! Not an "atack"!
A little typo, huh? An Xbox for $1,000 sounds like a rip-off.
Yes, I understand. It just sucks because Microsoft can bully us and we have no other option. (Read: viable option)
