Story: Ballmer: Microsoft may keep XP if users demand it
Yes Steve, they want it!
How do you describe such a statement without calling Steve Ballmer a liar?
Steve knows very well it was never Microsoft's intention to offer users a choice, as soon as Vista came out, they hastily removed XP machines from sale; suddenly overnight you couldn't find an XP computer unless you were willing to pay a bit extra on some websites (since when does the old cost more than the new?).
There's been a bunch of save-XP websites set up, a lot of enterprise users have simply refused to adopt Vista. All of that somehow escaped Steve's attention, maybe he's being distracted by the Yahoo takeover bid.
