Microsoft admits the failure of Windows Vista
This is music to my ears. I've heard that Microsoft would continue supporting Windows XP until the year 2014, due to this great fiasco of Windows Vista.
I am not a frequent user of windows in general, until last year and only install XP, I gave him a look at Vista when it left. But be that as it may, many people have serious difficulties and headaches with Windows Vista, this largely cosmetic changes to Vista.
The simple fact of not being able to run my favorite applications like Nero and others, mean that Vista will go straight to the trash.
I remember a few months after its launch, Microsoft offered a downgrade from XP to Vista, and this says a lot about the quality of a product. The little or no adoption, which took Vista because of its graphic system eats into resources that will run slower than other Windows machines in the latest generation. In a nutshell Windows Vista has been the worst operating system from Microsoft (even worse than Windows Me) and yet comes pre-installed on all new computers.
With all the above, Microsoft has no alternative but to endure Windows XP for more time, maybe until the launch of Microsoft Linux 
, Or until their enterprise customers migrate their applications to Vista.
Although they hurt, this was the best thing Microsoft could do in this situation. Not even SP1 has functioned as it should. Which helps us all, users, technical support and so on. Lots of people are buying your new computer, removing XP and installing Vista, some even tested Ubuntu, which is making us gain ground quickly;
Without continued access XP, manufacturers of such systems would be forced to offer them with the rival Linux OS on board - a situation Microsoft is hoping to preempt.

It was expected that Windows Vista will not work consumes resources and is slow, but it removed the market and people do not want it, already too familiar with the windows xp does not want to bother with another expensive and time-windows system that only looks good. I like that people start to try Ubuntu, I use in my house on a computer that already has 4 years and still sack him advantage.

Personally I prefer Debian to Ubuntu, and my desktop PC still use it every day, because I have more RAM and better graphics card is another thing, but I do not follow the game machine from Microsoft to buy new windows to use his last.
And apparently, and people also has realized that buying the latest hardware technology with a view as not worthwhile. I checked with my cousin, since it acquired an HP laptop with Vista, and she told me that he opened his documents slower than the previous pc.
