What if Windows Vista Doesn’t Sell Out?
Windows Vista is due to the consumer market on Tuesday after five long years of waiting. This is the largest and most celebrated product Microsoft has released in years which is expected to boost the company’s sales.
One of the biggest hopefuls is Microsof’t search business which has lagged behind Google and Yahoo despite all funds it was given.
Chairman Bill Gates says that Windows Vista is at the core of everything they do. Windows Vista focus on connected experience which brings the entire Microsoft product together. The success of Windows Vista would give all their business product lines the edge to succeed as well; but a failure for Windows Vista could also spell doom for Microsoft.
What if Microsoft Windows Vista doesn’t succeed? What if it takes three to five years before consumers upgrade to the new operating system? What if they don’t upgrade at all?
Microsoft’s internet business isn’t toppling Google and Yahoo on its own and would need the power of Windows Vista to help them inch closer to their rivals.
A sub-par performance for Windows Vista is going to be a big headache for Microsoft for years to come.

Vista has copied the Mac & Linux ideas for there new platform system, well I wouldn’t exactly call it new becaue the features on the system isn’t completely new if your a mac user or use the IBM version of linux.
IBM are bringing a free version of Linux which will easily beat Vista, It’s IBM way of telling Microsoft to get lost so remember where you’ve heard this from :-)
As far as hacking into Vista it’s will raise a challenge and people will get turned on, Vista has already been hacked but the downside of Vista is it all the programs won’t work on Vista because microsoft doesn’t either approve it and the protection system they use will block it.
Good look guys if your going to buy the software im keeping well away from it.
