At the business launch of Windows Vista, Office 2007 and Exchange 2007, Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer told me something surprising: The family computers in his home were all bought in 2003 and haven't been replaced since.
But, with Vista and the "affordability" of new hardware, they were planning to replace many of these. Interesting that price and affordability matters to a Microsoft billionaire.
But, Ballmer told me, even though his son's school laptop doesn't have as much memory as he wants, he's probably going to just get his XP software upgraded to Vista.
