Windows is a MUST in order to sell Office (the most profitable product). That's
why Macs don't scare Microsoft so much (among other reasons).
Never mind Vista. They have Vista 7 coming next year. The massive ($1 billion?)
marketing budget has already begun changing hands and I see AstroTurfers
spreading a fog of disinformation where I blog. They must be cheap
AstroTurfers because their English is poor and they follow the typical pattern
of mockery, vanity, and out-of-control praise of anything Microsoft (in a
Linux site).
There is already substantial proof of this AstroTurfing.
