Vista Transition: Microsoft Should Take a Lesson from Apple
,----[ Quote ]
| Opinion: The looming choice for Windows users is either to stick with
| Windows XP (and older hardware) or take Windows Vista cold turkey.
| But Microsoft doesn't have to be so tough--Apple did it differently with
| the Mac OS X rollout.
|
| [...]
|
| Most small business users and of course, consumers, will be migrated by
| fiat. These are the very customers who have forgotten (or never
| understood, more like it) the terms of license for the OS on their
| machines.
|
| Worse, this group believes they will be able to pop in the install discs
| for XP on their new machine and everything will be as it was. Not.

Even that $900 million advertising budget (braishwash) for Vista won't be
able to save it.
