Second,
I am really tired of Microsoft Hype Machine(TM). Seriously, if they
were as good at putting out software as they are at talking about it, I
wouldn't despise Windows the way I do (though, I must admit, Windows 7
is almost as stable as XP, so it's tolerable).
Third,
I don't think Windows will ever be as stable as Linux (I personally
like Ubuntu). Period. In fact, just this morning, I got to my desk and
had to reboot because Windows wouldn't connect to the wireless network
(this unfortunately requires a reboot). Ugh.
Lastly,
for the enterprise, it will be a decade before the jump to Windows 8
(e.g., every large company I currently work with uses Windows XP). For
the consumer, they just have to suffer through whichever version is
preloaded on the computer they get from Best Buy.
So, I guess my question is: WHO CARES?
