Story about nothing really. You can bet the planning for the IT has been going on years - I'm sure the decision was made a couple of years ago, and everyone knew Vista stinked, so XP is hardly surprising.
- Splines 17y agoMeatspace proximity to the MCDC and Redmond probably also played a role. > Windows Vista is a dog of an operating system To be fair, Vista seems to have shaken off most issues now (I'll wager a majority of the problems were fixed during the Win7 product cycle and back-ported to Vista). I use an up-to-date patched Vista system and have few complaints (the new Win7 taskbar is probably the biggest thing I miss).
- dustingetz 17y agoi always thought people hated vista because hardware vendors hadn't caught up with the device drivers--vista is v6.0, Win7 is v6.1. kind of a clever tactic for MS--using vista as a fall guy and Win7 differentiating itself in marketing when nothing really changed.
