quite obvious. enterprises can't afford to continuously upgrade hardware every 3 years. Their budget is more like one low cost upgrade every 15 years or so.
Thats why Enterprises need to switch to ***** based Thin Client setups.
Finally, its quite heartening to see that M$ did decide to extend support for WindowsXP.

I am working in an enterprise too beta..jara mujhe bataa what did you find so funny?
Their extending support for XP clearly re-iterates the fact that business users aka Enterprises are not yet ready to up(down?)grade to vista.Period.

Dude, I am talking about small time enterprises, not offices of Reliance or Tata. Small as in the local retail outlet, the next door real estate agent, etc.Lolz....beta, Enterprise main aakar kaam karo, upgrade cycle maloom ho jayega

And when the F did I say vista sux *compared* to XP ? Even I advice people to go and get Vista instead of XP if they are buying an OS for their computer which is of today's standards. I myself will buy vista and not xp if I ever need to buy an OS for my family's use (There is always an array of 10000 distros out there for me, just waiting to be experimented with
)

Them having to extend Xp's support repeatedly shows that something is wrong with Vista. You just cant deny that.
This is in fact unprecedented. When XP came out, yes it was more heavy on the system that 98 yet it didnt experience teething problems like Vista.
Vista should in fact do well, given that it was delayed by a almost a couple of years and there was a long gap between XP and Vista.
Yet, XP is not yet outdated and Vista is not the bleeding edge futuristic OS everyone hoped it would be. The advantages of Vista are simply not significant enough to make the upgrade compelling.
And that does imply, Vista is not the outstanding product MS claimed (and hoped) it would be.

Somehow I think everyone knew this was coming. Definitely Enterprises don't wait that long to roll out their new hardware and it definitely isnt going to be a low cost one. But definitely upgrades would hit a nerve if it were every other year.
By the way Thin clients are rather a concept than being OS based. You can have thin clients on pretty much any platform.

Is Windows Vista also like this ?
XP Home looks sooo damn perfect now
It has just enough things to run games and be done with it.
But I hear Windows Vista does not have a Gamer's Edition

I'm quite new to the gaming arena so Im not sure about this, Is there an OS with a gaming edition out there? Also One of Vistas Strong points (As per ads) is performace of premium games on the Vista Platform I recall.
