It actually already happened in 2009. However the extended support (with newest service pack only) to 2014.
Technically it was not.. visually and user-ability Vista was too Linux/Apple like on security.
Best OS out there.
Disagree fully. Having played around with Windows 8, I find after a short time, I actually prefer it to Windows 7. Certain aspects enhance the Windows experience and others are revolutionary. Metro look is good on touch screens.. desktop.. well takes some getting use too, but it is in fact no difference than your desktop/start button put in one. I found that my productivity (getting to stuff) went up because of the Metro thing.
But saying that, there was still a lot of tweaking to be done so my final judgement will come with the RC coming out next month.
MS pulled a few scams on us...and it slapped a lasting label on them...Windows Millenium ? remember that ruse...windows 95..and that total bs policy of you could only install windows on one computer and You had to call them if you crashed and had to re install...I changed HDs and had to call MS in INDIA was on the phone 45 minutes to get to re install it......MS has had some real fails...and for some of us that have been around and aware...we know the dirty deals and vicious attacks MS made on other companies and how they stole others technology and Lost in court....NetScape Navigator..for one...Java for another.....and alot I just forgot.
Having said that MS has gotten better and they have improved their image and it "SEEMS" all that happened with Gates retired...
