Pathetic

Is any one fooled by this so called back down by Microsoft. So XP stays on sale for another few months. This isn't going to fix the problem that Vista is fundamentally not what users want. People want XP and should be allowed to buy XP and not be bullied into buying something that they don't need or want. Something that requires big investment in hardware to run but gives little or nothing back in functionality. Microsoft need to wake up and realise that most of the stuff in Vista is just not wanted or needed by the vast majority of users, its just 'coloured steam' looks good but has no substance. Basically they have blown millions of dollars developing a white elephant, and the only way to sell it is to force it upon people.
