Default InfoWorld : Should Microsoft Throw Away Vista?

Well, they have one hell of a long way to go before they are not the
market leader, but . . .

With a several year build cycle for an OS, they sure as hell can't afford
to blow another one. It's also worth noting, MS Office 2007 isn't
burning up the sales either, and those are the only two product lines MS
makes money on.
