Mr. Clamula sounds like he is 16. Or maybe has some brain function altering disorder.
Unfortunately for Microsoft, waiting 5 years for a lukewarm update to XP is not going to be good for busimess. Just as adding more MHz does not add a lot of value anymore (I do remember how slow my 486 was. yet, it was so much faster than my 386~!), Windows 2000 and Office 2000 are, for most people, good enough.
And if it was not for the spectre of virus and crapware, and the dreaded threat of being "not supported" anymore, most people would not have any incentive to update.
Transparent window frames? Support for huge icons? Is there any earth shattering new feature in Vista? Honnestly, the 3 year old Longhorn preview looks alot nore exciting.
Of course, Vista will be a huge succes, just from OEM/Corporate licenses (94% of all windows sales) since manufacturers will have Vista pre-installed before shipping. The consumer, us, won't have a choice. (except maybe nagging dell until they ship some hardware with no OS installed. That would be a boon)
