Even when Vista comes out it won't have instant effect on the over all system, but the load will grow in time and the system will have to be customed for that.
The biggest push I've heard given to corps over the years is not that OSS can be modified, enhanced, integrated, or reused, but that it can be inspected, reviewed, and fixed.
and there is this wonderful license "as is" policy, that in big companies cuts the need for license negotiations (and the time to market). In big volume products the licensing issues can be more time consuming than the actual development.
The idea of Desktop is the remenent of 80's
and as such it's relevance is fading with the
emergence of web native services. Being web native
meaning that the access method to the services is
rendered insignificant (e.g. IRC with Web server,
GUI and TUI clients).
This change is slow but society driven in a way
that makes it inevitable. In time people will do their
social networking from their couch via entertainment
systems, from their vehicles via MFDs, from the mall
via their Cell phones or via their desktop at work.
Buy the new Windows Vista. You can have: - More features - More efficiency - More reliability - More easy to use just pick two of these choices and we deliver you the experience of them (other choises will be excluded from the selection)

You have to remember that the minority of M$:s customer are it's users.
The majority of M$:s customers are in it for the ride and not for the destination.
Didn't we get this thing tested in 2002. Haven't we learned anything? or has it all been forgotten?

I allways thought that the pronunciation of the word was deliberately the same as New Clear.
So by all means let's have more of these New Clear Power Plants.
