The Inq thinks so. I won’t act like I don’t believe the same thing though, although I’d like to stay positive. Vista has a long way to go before it becomes an OS I’d want to use, I can say that. The Inq takes a look at a few recent events that somehow denotes failure.
First is the fact that Dell began offering XP on their systems again, or at least a few of them. The second is their $3 bundles that they are offering in developing Countries. That to me right there gives me the assumption that they are trying to kill Linux off. I mean, it’s $3 to have a robust system suite that’s well supported. It’s a good enough reason for a lot of people to forget alternative operating systems if they can stick to the dominating one and remain legal.
Though I personally dislike Vista, I won’t go as far to call it a failure just yet. Things could be a lot better, however. No one can refute that.
