Update on the Windows Road Map

This article covered an email sent by Bill Veghte concerning the Windows Vista release.
He wanted to let customers know that XP will be supported until 2014, that it will still be available (through businesses and downgrade options), and that Vista has introduced many great new changes. He also mentioned that Vista is offering updates that allow games to run effectively. Veghte also mentioned the new version of Vista, Windows 7, which is currently in progress.

An interesting formula commented on at the end of the page was
is cost > value, or is value > cost? The commenter stated that for the most part, the cost > value will keep people from upgrading to Vista. I definitely agree with this--my experiences with Vista have been, for the most part, nothing more than mediocre. XP has been much better suited to my needs and takes up a lot less space. I do have a new pc right now running on Vista, however, and it seems to be doing pretty well, so we'll see...
