Comments on: Microsoft Vista: The “Greatest Misstep in Software History” http://www.thebigwaveblog.com/2008/05/21/microsoft-vista-the-greatest-misstep-in-software-history/ The Latest From the Search Engine Marketing Industry Lineup Fri, 21 Nov 2008 18:05:12 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.1 By: Vikram http://www.thebigwaveblog.com/2008/05/21/microsoft-vista-the-greatest-misstep-in-software-history/#comment-265 Vikram Thu, 22 May 2008 15:51:35 +0000 http://www.thebigwaveblog.com/2008/05/21/microsoft-vista-the-greatest-misstep-in-software-history/#comment-265 I think XP is more of a Braveheart than anything MSFT has to offer. I plan to stick with it and hold off until the next upgrade. Windows 7 is expected to hit the market in 2010 but might get hit by delays like Vista. With Apple, it's not only the look and feel, but also the system’s stability that makes it expensive. The irony is that Vista actually runs better on a Mac. By introducing Intel chips, Apple has left users the option to run the Mac as a PC. Great move to get people to switch. Who knows... someday I might get a Mac!

Coming from a marketing perspective. Mac can take advantage of the situation and increase its quanity price due to the increase in quanity demand. This is a usual tactic for business, however, Apple/Mac is unlike Microsoft. Therefore the quanity price will remain the same. On the other hand, a computer illiterate like myself would think of it as a good time to invest in a valuable low cost product like the XP version because Microsoft is discontinueing them. I think in the anatomical world. Therefore would it be wise to go out and commit to transplanting a defective mechanical heart in place of a slowly whithering one that you have? Or would you scrape up the last pennies to your name to transplant the human heart from a donor? I'm very price sensitive so I continue to use my whithering heart(XP).
