Will sales of computers jump? What about peripherals? Anything? If you talk to the suppliers of components, manufactures and even the average geek, the answer is no, no and no. Worse the buzz surrounding Vista is nothing like the buzz that surrounded Microsoft’s Windows 95, 98, Win NT and even Windows 2000 and XP.
Dvorak is on a rampage yet again and hits everything spot-on. I don’t think at this point there is any reason to get excited, because there’s nothing you can do with Vista that you can’t do with XP. It only looks prettier. I don’t think many people will actually upgrade to Vista until DX10 becomes more mainstream, which may be a little while.
