For those of you that don't listen to the TWIT (This Week In Tech - one of the best there is) podcast, Leo and some others this week are saying Microsoft may be admitting defeat in the next year. Companies are DEMANDING to use XP Pro SP2 over anything Vista as it has been a HUGE nightmare for them. Vista from what is said is going to go down the same path as ME did and that Microsoft may be waiting to announce something next year. While nothing is OFFICIAL, the way they talked it would seem as though Vista may be scrapped entirely in a move to salvage what remains of their little OS reputation for quality.
If you have not heard this podcast this week I would suggest doing so as it has some great stuff in it. I can see Microsoft scrapping it like ME but MUCH sooner and just releasing one service pack and then saying their starting over to save their butts before it gets fully out of hand.
I know from everyone I've talked to, including myself, they can't stand Vista and went back to XP Pro SP2. Everyone knows about all the headaches and issues by now so no need to go over them (which would take 50 pages at least). It will be interesting though in 2008 to see what they do if TWIT is correct.
