ya, i read about that.  its funny.  how can they be thinking of a new OS when their current one desperately needs an SP1!!!

Or maybe, the Vista team are working on SP1, then will get fired, and another newly hired team are working on a new OS...

Maybe it is a proven art, sucking up peoples money with less-than-perfect stuff...

I tell ya, down here in Thailand, Microsoft can only suck money up from hardware, because almost every copy of Windows you see anywhere (unless bought OEM) will be a pirate copy.
