Personally, I think they're going to have major problems getting legs under this one. In most cases, it will require a hardware upgrade and I know *I'm* not ready for one. I doubt anyone who rushed out to buy a new box to run XP is exactly hurting for new hardware either.

I think they'll also have trouble getting acceptance for Office 2007. Many of the Office MVP's have flat-out said "NO" to it. They can't deliver the kinds of solutions their clients need with it.

It's going to be an interesting couple of years.

>With RC1 having shipped and Microsoft saying it expects to RTM by the end of the year, I was wondering what the thoughts are here about Vista. Personally I have not seen it. From what I have read in the press there has been some blowback from beta testers, particularly about the new UI. One specific thing I read is that users are presented with beaucoups message boxes. Thoughts? Is this something I should be looking forward to or is it more like a 2008 migration scenario?
