this is the end of Microsoft. Since there is no software that runs on Vista and we can or will be able to run what is needed under XP on Mac, why would anyone buy a vista machine?
Why would anyone install vista? Given the need to re-boot (PIA), the current windows programmers are going to switch from writing code for MS vaporware and concentrate on porting what they have to Mac. Wonder how quickly the big fab' operations can sign contracts with Apple? All of the resellers of Widows boxes are under the gun.
