Microsoft abandons Vista?

gadgetzone.com.au writes: "It's no secret that Windows Vista has created a division in the PC community since its release. Whether it be in the form of new laptops only shipping with Windows Vista driver support or programs that have not been able to make the migration from the stability of Windows XP to the uncertainty of Windows Vista, Microsoft's latest operating system has caused more than its fair share of headaches for developers and consumers alike. And although the company still defends its latest OS, Vista's planned three year lifespan may be cut shorter than expected"

Windows Vista: The Windows ME of today

to see the base numbers...so we know how big/small this growth actually is.

Aclay6484d ago

I'm just glad I still have Windows XP. If Windows Vista didn't have so many incompatibility issues I think that it would be a pretty nice OS.

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.

Jingsing49d ago

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.

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit49d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing49d ago

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.

Tanktopmaster9249d ago

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
