fyo, Gates was seen running around saying 'the sky is falling, the sky is falling' yesterday.
MSFT still is trying to force feed the industry what it feels is good for it.
It seems their only way to shift people is to shift the OEMs to the new OS and let them drag their clients.
There is a lot of resistance as many people now migrate their OS to keep their system the same and avoid the death of a million bugs that comes with new MSFT OS.
I keep getting small clients who went out and bought win2K and self installed it on their own system. Often they end up crippled and they have no return path except format c:/s
Large clients at least have the smarts to not do this without backup, but you would be amazed at how many do it and have troubles and have to re-image their drives from their backups and keep their old OS.
Prolly be another year before it works well.
