Windows Vista has been out and about for a while now, and it has already been updated with a service pack, with a second service pack on its way. Vista's successor, Windows 7, is also getting closer and closer to release, but despite all that, Windows XP is still going strong, and demand for the operating system remains high. Because of that, Microsoft has yet again extended Windows XP's lifetime for OEMs and resellers.

Oh, they certainly could mess up 7. I'm hoping they don't, and that the Vista experience made them actually take a look at their marketing department. By all accounts, 7 is shaping up to be a very nice release, but even the best releases can be destroyed through mismanagement and hype and that goes for any company, not just Microsoft.

Don’t worry, I’m sure Microsoft can mess 7 up with too many versions, hair-brained licencing schemes, activation/drm hoops to jump through and a ridiculous price
Whenever I think of marketing, I remember the Dilbert episode where he gets a job at a successful company that has no marketing department and, by mistake, introduces them to the concept of marketing. The company then falls apart and burns to the ground in a mass of chaos.
