Re: XP to go the way of the DODO BIRD...
Apple really has a huge opportunity here. I'm a student (at least for a few more weeks), and I'd estimate that in my class, Apple has around a 20% market share versus the PC. If they can hang onto those people as they move into the workforce and grab onto some of the anti Vista people, they might be able to make some significant inroads into the market.
This has been a really terrible product launch for Microsoft. I'm not sure whether they felt forced to bring Vista out too early for some reason (I couldn't imagine why) or if they are simply just that incompetent, but Vista really doesn't seem like a fully developed product. I have a Vista laptop and have constant problems with it. Meanwhile, an older XP laptop that I passed on to my father still chugs away with no problems, and actually works a bit faster, despite being a few years older. Very annoying.
