Not surprising. I've also read that they have a new OS in development. I guess this means that by the time Vista gives comparable performance (or perhaps even show an increase SHOCK HORROR!) with xp, it will be getting phased out. Presumably in favour with another unfinished, bloated, underperforming, overpriced windows OS. The sad thing is that while this seems a cynical viewpoint, its not that far from the truth.
