And think about it, what's the alternative to Vista, but Windows XP? Those who don't jump to Vista right away will stick with XP, an operating system into which Microsoft will no longer be investing, making it even more profitable. So even if Microsoft loses they win. In 2007 at least, if people don't like Vista they will, for the most part, still stick with Microsoft rather than jumping to Linux or to the Mac. Maybe that will change in future years, but for 2007 at least, Microsoft's empire is secure and they know it.
