Vista woes: People still want XP!

Doesn't Microsoft get it, people don't want Vista, Microsoft should abandon Vista, extend XP support and hurry up with 7.

Wired has a story about how passionate XP fans are about XP and their refuse to 'upgrade' to Vista.

"No matter how hard Microsoft works to persuade people to embrace Vista, some just can't be wowed. They complain about Vista's hefty hardware requirements, its less-than-peppy performance, occasional incompatibility with other programs and devices and frequent, irritating security pop-up windows."

ComputerWorld has a story on how XPLite could be just the thing for the new class of ultra mobile low end notebooks.

"The fact is, Vista is just not designed to work well on the vast majority of ultraportable computers, and XP flies in comparison. Instead of taking XP to end of life, Microsoft needs to consider XP as a core mobile platform going forward while keeping Windows Mobile reserved for phone-based devices that are pocketable or smaller."

Here is my favorite:

"Hey Microsoft, Vista is good -- for increasing OSX & Linux installs.

I can't believe that with all the time, effort & money invested in Vista, all you've managed to produce is an OS that is more bloated, insecure & unstable than XP.

Face the facts, OSX & Linux are the new desktop frontiers. 

Your monopolistic rein is nearing its end."
