Why Apple and Linux Will Kill Vista

Because my last post touched upon why Vista is doomed, I wanted to do a more in depth post on why Apple and Linux will kill it.

Apple isn't the main reason why Vista is doomed, but it does contribute to it. With its slew of hilarious commercials and the iPod it will cut into Vista's market share but not that much because you can load Vista onto one any way (I think).

Actually the company that has really killed Vista is Dell. By giving users the option to opt out of Windows, they have opened up a whole new market for Linux which is cheaper and more secure than Windows. Linux will gain market share steadily while Windows loses it, and finally it will culminate in Microsoft leaving the operating system game altogether, at least for the time being.

Vista was too expensive and too late to be a success.
What do you think?

Another 4 Reason Why Vista is Doomed

Here are another 4 reasons why Vista is doomed:

1. Its five flavors are confusing and do not lend themselves to easy purchasing
2. It doesn't provide enough new security features and other features to make it worth its price tag.
3. Increased competition from Apple and Linux will stifle growth especially now that Dell is selling computers that do not have Windows preinstalled.
4. It doesn't deliver on many promised features so that it could ship earlier.
