Is Windows dead? Or, at least, is this the beginning of the end for Microsoft's proprietary operating system? And, if so, what solution/platform will be THE Windows killer? It's not like candidates are in short supply. From the Google Browser (Chrome) to Linux, Mac OS X, to RIA platforms, to dedicated thin ... |

Moving forward with Windows, and even past what is currently its proprietary operating system, Microsoft will have to deal with a crucial gambit – evolution on a non-Windows path vs. perpetuating the platform's heritage for 1+ billion users.

When it was made available in November 2006 and in January 2007, Windows Vista brought to the table a plethora of editions, some of which will survive with the next iterations of the Windows client.

Microsoft is going head over heels in order to convince customers that the road to Windows 7 is paved with nothing but "good" Windows Vista(s).

Microsoft insisted to put Windows Vista at least on par, if not on a superior level compared to Windows XP in terms of performance throughout 2007, in a strategy that proved little efficient even though it also spanned to Vista SP1 and XP SP3.
