Google lost its recent antitrust battle with Microsoft on Tuesday when a US District Court judge overseeing latter company's antitrust settlement declined to accept Internet search giant's request to extend the US government oversight of Microsoft's antitrust efforts. US District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly, who was scheduled to review the report in a hearing on June 26, in her ruling, refused to consider Google's petition to have the agreement extended beyond November, when major parts of it expire.

I'm glad you've had success with Vista. I'm sure I could find people who liked ME too.
Again, not everyone has the same experience, but plenty of people have no problem with vista, and if you are one of the lucky ones, it is a MASSIVE upgrade over XP.
When people who wouldn't even consider running Linux are going through the same kind of hoops that I would go to to get a Linux-compatible machine, in order that they can get an XP machine (and this I've seen with my own eyes), that's gotta be a pretty big "if".

What about Vista? And it's not subjective at all: The fact that MS made "an enormous profit" from ME is due to their monopoly position, not to the fact that people liked it. They didn't. And indications are that Vista is seen as even more of a joke.
I didn't want to bring it up, but I got vista bundled with a new laptop, and have had absolutely no problems with it. The problem with vista is that it doesnt give even remotely the same experience on any hardware combination, which has traditionally been the greatest strength of windows. But I'll tell you, I used to be a linux man during the 98/XP years cause I couldnt stand using it, and Vista managed to bring me to windows. Again, not everyone has the same experience, but plenty of people have no problem with vista, and if you are one of the lucky ones, it is a MASSIVE upgrade over XP.
