Kevin Kettler needs to take his fat face out of Steve Ballmer's greasy, badly-wiped backside and take a deep breath of fresh air.

Users do not dictate to the business which software they will use, it's the other way round. The Technical Architects give advice to the Managers who make the decisions within the financial restrictions imposed by the Directors. The Users use what they are given. Their only hope of an input is via the Business Analysts who also report to the Managers. The decisions are made by considering the needs of the business and the cost benefits gained from the implementation. Not because the users say they prefer the 3D desktops.

I would be very surprised if Vista was successful in any market other than retail where you have to purchase the latest version of Windows with your new PC whether you want it or not.

Kevin Kettler should have an enema before he starts talking about the future of Windows again.
