I agree; Gartner, in general, is neutral to fairly positive on MS. I am an longtime member, and did a search on Windows Vista after reading this. 12 articles in the past few months on 'how to move to Vista', 'prepare now..." etc. Not much on either waiting or alternatives.
This should be more of a wake up call to MS, than a rotten egg in the face. The points they make are on target, at least from my POV. The very same points we made in banning Vista/Office 07 for the foreseeable future, and hanging with XP.
BTW, just got an Asus eeePC. Wow... MS should be worried. My wife, who is a MS IT specialist, and my 13 year old bonded to it and won't let go...
