Microsoft walks the Vista-projection tightrope | |
|

Microsoft's in a tough spot, regarding the flood of Vista upgrade projections issued by a variety of firms over the past couple of weeks. The bulk of the reports I've seen are warning users that they should expect to have to upgrade their existing machines, or preferably, buy brand-new ones, in order to run Windows Vista. (A number of these studies have been issued by companies who make their bread and butter from selling new PCs, PC components and/or software. Sure, these firms might have separate research and sales divisions, but it still seems like somewhat of a conflict of interest to me.) At the same time, Microsoft and others (including our own ZDNet blogger Ed Bott) have publicly claimed that Vista won't be as much of a hardware hog as many are claiming, and that a large number of existing PCs will be able to run Vista just fine, thanks. | ||
