[CoLoCo] Gartner Tells Companies to Adopt Vista or Die

[Chomafin]

This guy seems like quite the idiot..
I see no reason for people to upgrade yet if they are getting by fine.  I'm
sure I am not the only one that has spoken with people still running Win3.1/95
because it still works just fine for them.  Like Jim noted, It seems his
only reason to upgrade now is because windows7 might flop.. Opposed to
mentioning what new great features are left out..
Just a thought.. Does Windows get more secure as new versions get released?
heh.. How many of the new virus/malware out there cause damage to Win98se?
