Software Jihad
Blog If I was a stockholder in Microsoft (and I'm not) I would hammer on Steve Ballmer to institute a world-wide campaign to extract every dollar possible from Windows XP before Windows 7 of 9 (or 7 of 10, whenever) comes out.

Vista Vs XP
Blog Comment My guess is that if somebody goes and asks DELL what the ratio of XP to Vista sales are, you won't get an answer since I'm sure Microsoft has shut them up. When they come in with Vista on them, they go out into the rental fleet with XP Pro.

Microsoft's Pre-modern Message Puts A New Face On Vista
Blog Comment If I could have gotten that functionality with Vista I wouldn't have minded paying twice as much as XP Pro. One benefit to all of this is that when I shut down WMI, it also shutdown the Firewall AND the Network Interface making the Windows XP Pro...

Vista's Six Versions Finalised
Talkback 6 versions is definitely too many, even with the 2-3 "standard" versions of XP (home, pro and MCE), the problem wasn't the choice of which OS you wanted, it was the basic fact that you had no choice, the manufacturer bundled one (usually home...
