Yesterday ActiveWin had the exclusive of Windows Vista's official release date. Today, Microsoft confirmed all that by updating its release schedule and making an official press release. "Microsoft today confirmed that Windows Vista, the next generation of the Windows client operating system, is on target to go into broad consumer beta to approximately 2 million users in the second quarter of 2006. Microsoft is on track to complete the product this year, with business availability in November 2006 and broad consumer availability in January 2007."

I agree the odds are against us... You'd have to be a fool to think otherwise, but we still stand a CHANCE
And with the way things have been progressing over the last couple years, Vista may be pivot point to really make things happen.
As you pointed out, DirectX 10...or just gaming in general is probably the number one advantage Windows still has over both Linux and Mac OSX. That's why it was also very good news the other day that OpenGL might still be viable after all on Vista, as it's the only way to go if a developer wants to make their engine cross-platform.
Hell, if Linux adoption could go up from the 5% marketshare it has now (mostly in servers too), to about 10-20% I'd be more than happy
