maybe then Ballmer would have reason to smile. Even with Loverock onboard there is 0 (ZERO) chance of persuading any corporate IT clients from forking out the needless expense for Win 7. Or Vista.
IT budgets and workforces will be slashed as it is. In the current economic climate HOW does Ballmer expect anyone cares at all about WIN7????
The recession/depression (the elephant in the room Steve Ballmer is trying to deflect attention from) means enterprise IT simply will NOT switch from their existing XP configurations. Or, if they do - it will be to go open source.
Vista was a crock - and I've yet to hear Microsoft's "Mea Culpa". For that reason alone Win7 is totally immaterial. It could be all-singing and all-dancing and I simply could care less. Touchscreen is a technology in search of a solution. We don't need it.
