Vista set to ride into the sunset
It’s the beginning of the end for Windows Vista.
Today, Microsoft Corp. kicks off its marathon pitch about life after Vista, and even though the next evolution of Windows won’t be ready until 2010, at the earliest, the company doesn’t think it’s too soon to start prepping for a bug-free launch.
Otherwise, despite the fact that Windows’s toughest challengers – Linux and Apple Inc. – remain bit players in the operating system game, Microsoft risks suffering in the arena of public perception, again.
The world’s largest software company will speak publicly for the first time today about what’s in store for the next evolution of Windows, dubbed Windows 7, at its Professional Developers Conference in Los Angeles.
Ok, let me just say what so many are thinking: “Thank you God, Thank you God, Thank you God!!!!”
Enough said…

Are you sure? Are you really really sure? Are you sure now you want to turn Vista off?
Maybe I’ll just not use my laptop – with Vista installed – until Windows 7 comes out in 2010.
