Quote; "More worryingly for MS, a real feeling in the market has taken hold that it has lost whatever innovative direction it might have had and just has nothing to offer when it comes to competing with Apple's brilliantly realised consumer offerings and Google's complete dominance of the Internet – and increasing office productivity tools. Microsoft is rapidly being painted into a corner – with no real idea of how to get out."

I have got to admit you are a one man Linux machine, too bad they never put an "input" device instead of just "spewing out" Linux propaganda and nothing else.
Which all goes to prove that you are deaf...dumb...and stupid !
Oh ! I almost forgot that a person like you WILL do anything that they have to in order to promote Linux and therefore being called a "Liar" ...to you is a compliment !
IMAN
If it was such a great read ...why didn't you read it properly ??
Apart from the heading "Microsoft told to abandon Vista" the rest of the story (cough cough) was that microsoft SHOULD abandon Vista !
In other words it is a rehash of an "old" story which started out not as a story, but as someones stupid "suggestion" and that is all it was ... A SUGGESTION !
No one has told microsoft to abandon Vista and it is only people like you who perpetuate these type of "so called" stories !!
YOU IDIOT !!!
Microsoft told to abandon Vista, nice article BTW. Hey if you get any general type imformation on the lawsuit, like how much ms is being sued for, please pass it on, thanks.
I-man, wonder why Neil got banned (in his own words) over at Linux Watch? It couldn't be namecalling do you think? LOL No, it had to be something completely unfair. LOL
Both you and Marco posted the same excellant link to the "Microsoft told to abandon Vista" article in different articles here at M$ Watch. Here is one that is all humor, but still, gives MS a way out of the Vi$ta situation, in way they have handled problems like this before. LOL Enjoy.

Waht a stupid site that is (BBSpot) !
None of the articles there are true !
If you like to live in a dream for Linux zealots (like you are chips) then I suppose that that is the ideal place.

Believe I did say; "Here is one that is all humor," which says something for a sense of humor, or lack of. Also, in most Linux distro's one can get free spellcheckers, so one will not misspell common words like "Waht" or "Spelt."
Check out the linux distro at www.distrowatch.com
Most are free, and will set you free.
