Just saw an article in PC World about Microsoft releasing a new “version” of Windows XP because they’ve run out of licenses. No new features, this is purely a license release. This just goes to show how much innovation has been stifled when a 6 year old OS is still in demand like this. The true test that Microsoft has won? People don’t even care that they’re running a 6 year old OS.

Not that I blame most consumers. Vista still has a lot of problems to fix, and at this point is an unnecessary upgrade. Linux is not quite ready for mass adoption (I’ll post on that later). What other options do they have? And that’s the entirety of the problem.
