"Microsoft told Wall St it's reconciled to the fact the seven-year-old Windows XP will occupy more of the client revenue mix than Microsoft would have preferred, while revenue for the full year will grow less than the year just closed. With the 'wow' clearly failing to materialize in fiscal 2007, Microsoft was left to pronounce itself 'broadly happy' - not blown away - with Windows Vista sales."

*Despite* Vista? Did anyone seriously believe (as opposed to hoped) that Vista would cause MS to shrink?
No one expects that - heck, before the big decline of Sun, they were growing quarter on quarter - they could do no wrong - the only problem, they were gaining no new customers, their existing customer base were dodgy start ups; they were extremely reliant on an existing customer base to increase their purchases. It isn't a long term strategy.

At the beginning of the year, many people here were seriously suggesting that by this time, Microsoft would be dead and everyone would be using Linux.
Uh, no. Even the most die-hard Linux fans wouldn't make such a claim.
Perhaps you can provide a few links to bolster your claim?
