Gartner Analysts Share Bleak Outlook On Vista
By Doug Caverly - Fri, 04/11/2008 - 9:33am.
Windows as a whole in serious trouble, too
Vista is crap, according to a number of users; Google gives over 20,000 results for that exact phrase. And thanks to Vista, two Gartner analysts have gone so far as to say that Windows is collapsing.
"For Microsoft, its ecosystem and its customers, the situation is untenable," stated Michael A. Silver and Neil MacDonald at a recent conference. "Windows as we know it must be replaced." The next version of Windows is already being discussed, of course, but its release is probably two or more years away.
In the meantime, Microsoft's stuck. Adoption of Vista has, from any sane point of view, lingered somewhere between "embarrassing" and "terrible." Numerous pushes to keep XP alive haven't made the situation any better.

Jeremy Zawondy’s recent blog posts... He poses the question does the convenience of having access to someone with answers inhibit people from thinking about and solving their own problems, when they know a quick email, twit, or IM will get them the answer without them having to make any real effort?
Many of the new Social Media websites seem to encourage this type of behavior. More specifically I am starting to see this type of behavior a lot on Twitter. I am not sure whether or not it is the law of averages or maybe even just the company I keep on the service? Maybe I interact with too many online marketers?
