Microsoft, as well as other software vendors, hardware vendors are
continuously working on the next version. Most of the time, they can
work side by side. For some, they don't even get a break between
releases. What didn't make the deadline for Vista is still being worked
on, it didn't just get dropped. There are always newer advances, better
technology. But, you have to give a deadline and go from there. I could
make a program, and keep adding and adding... It would never be done.
Sure, MS is working on Windows 7. Duh. Guess what?! Nintendo is working
on the successor to the Wii. Is it a bad platform? HELL NO!
Not much of a prophet...
And I, along with MANY others, love Vista.
