Not any more. The consumer is a bit wiser these days, and they are seeing that requiring a Cray Supercomuter just to make the interface look cool doesn't equal productivity and enjoyment of the OS. Apple got it right, because they sell the system behind the OS. Vista will fail because (yet again) Microsoft took a legacy OS and just started tacking millions of lines of code onto it to... make it look cool, and assumed everyone would go buy a new PC just to do what they have been doing with XP and 2K for the last 8 years, only slower.
Same shit was said the first year of XP. How did that go? I'm not saying Vista will fail or be a success because I ain't buying it until it's been out for a year (just like all the previous versions), but it's once again way to premature to have this conversation. And I'm with Samueul. Not only was the link provided from a crappy tabloid that makes up 99% of the crap they print, but Microsoft has and will never say Vista is a failure (even if it is).
