Eye candy is all just fine and well I guess, but we needed an OS that our "3rd" party software can write to.

Bought several new notepads summer last year and without even really thinking, had Vista installed on them all, and now, as of January, they are all sporting XP.
Our stand-ups never got Vista, and thank the OS gods for that.

I don't blame Windows for lowering the price. If I had a crap OS, I'd lower the price too.

Windows 98 and Windows XP were the only true benchmarks for Microsoft in my opinion. (though I do give 95 a "little credit" over 3x too)

98 was the utopia for DOS, much like how XP is the utopia for NT.
