Mike Ricciuti of CNET says Windows XP is "doomed" and that "most of us will likely be using Vista sometime in the near future" (see Microsoft: All roads lead to Vista). In contrast, Ina Fried of CNET writes that Windows XP may get another reprieve, the title referring to the fact that major computer manufacturers are slated to stop selling Windows XP in June. Who's right?
Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.
To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.
The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.
Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.
15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.
These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
Thanks to the slip-up of an artist working on the title, we now have more evidence that a new Injustice game is in the works.
Spiders: "We're going to cut straight to the chase so you're not left wondering: After a long period without clear answers, we have received confirmation that Spiders is being liquidated.
What does it mean? This means the company as a whole no longer exists. We'll cease our functions immediately. The planned DLC will release via Nacon, and then-- well, that's it.
We're sorry that it's come to this and would like to thank each and every one of you for your support over the years.
If you have any questions or run into issues with your games, please contact Nacon directly as we'll no longer be able to reply."
I've been using Vista since the Betas. Never had an issue, it is stable, productive, featureful and good-looking.
SP1 installed without an issue. I'm not looking back.
mike turdface from CNET, a MS owned site is touting vista as a success??
who woulda thunk it?? lol
Im a Linux fanboy.... so LINUX FTW
but windows Xp and vista r not that bad either... well they r not that good.. meh 6/10 for vista from me and 7/10 for XP
If playing games on Vista didn't involve fighting the OS at every turn I'd be a lot more accepting of it.
Linux in all it's wonderfulness will never replace Windows/OSX no matter how much people want it to. I love Linux, hated it at first when my Advance Programming teacher made us start using it, but it takes time to learn. More time than most people are willing to invest when all they use their computer for is some basic word process/taxes/web related activities.
I would love to see Linux become more prominent, mostly because its free, but unless they make the whole system a lot more savvy for the average Joe who knows nothings about computers, it will never take off.
