Vista: no prospects. And now... no leadership either. Didn't they swap
managers this yeat, putting in charge a former Office manager to take care
of Vista? They said he would not fail. One wonders if Office source code is
quite as bad as the Windows source code. Surely, the two intersect, so...
By the way, Jo Foley says that people will now report to Allchin. Isn't he
supposed to retire early next year? That's a recipe for disaster.
Best wishes,
Roy
