Microsoft had a perfectly good strategy, roll out unstable bad OSs, so that people will be begging to buy the new version.
I mean: Windows 3.1 -> Windows 3.11 -> Windows 95 -> Windows 98 -> Windows 98SE -> Windows ME
Those are the ones I have seen, and with the exception of ME, each OS has been better than the previous
Then Microsoft made XP, and now, they are screwed. Because it's stable, very usable and has excellent hardware support, why would anyone in their right mind want to change to Vista?
I love XP, I love FreeBSD, I use both, XP for workstations, BSD for niche *nix applications and developing software. They suit me just fine, and I will not be changing to Vista any time this decade.
so microsoft is a monopoly eh
then the simple thing for them to do is pay the 2.4 mil a day and just up the price on their products to work out at 3 mil a day extra profit a day
simple if you ask me...
