predictions that came true>> Vista Blunder Will Accelerate Leopard Market Share

This was written a year ago.. and indeed apple has seen a huge increase of 
sales of its OS.
I don't hate vista, hey, Im using it right now... but I know that its not 
the vista that was promised to us.. not be far... it's a crippled and 
problematic OS that I have been able to tame
and I use it only because I have a 4 core with 4 gigs of ram, and I don't 
care if it needs some hundred megaflops only to carry its arse around...

C|Net: Vista Blunder Will Accelerate Leopard Market Share
by John Martellaro, 12:05 PM EDT, October 30th, 2007


Microsoft has blundered with Vista in terms of its user interface approach, 
and it won't take long before Apple's gain in market share will become 
staggering, according to Don Reisinger in his C|Net Blog.

"Simply put, Mac OS X Leopard is one of the most significant operating 
system achievements we have witnessed in years," Mr. Reisinger wrote. "Not 
only does it add functionality that Microsoft could only have dreamed of, it 
does so in a snappy environment that doesn't annoy you with pop-ups asking 
for permission or all of those security threats we have come to know (and 
hate) in Windows."

Basically, Microsoft has fallen and it can't get up. Microsoft's own allies 
in PC manufacturing balked at Vista from a consumer perspective and 
continued to retain XP as an option. "The entire industry is disappointed by 
Windows Vista. I really don't think that someone has bought a new PC 
specifically for Vista," Acer CEO Gianfranco Lanci explained.

As a result, Microsoft has been forced to launch a premature marketing 
campaign that discusses the Vista successor and remedies that will be taken 
in order to take the sting out of the poor reception of Vista. In addition, 
XP Service Pack #3 will essentially eliminate the need for Vista.

Microsoft's corporate response has been to helplessly flail about by 
purchasing companies that will help it retain relevance. However, more to 
the point, Microsoft has lost the ability to change. As a result, the rise 
of Apple's market share will become more and more noticeable, and Microsoft 
will continue to unravel.
