Lời người dịch: Mệnh lệnh đã được phát ra từ Microsoft: Mọi người đừng có chuyển sang Vista. Những người cực đoan cuồng tín nguồn đóng có nghe rõ không đấy? Vista từng được tung hô là gì gì thế nhỉ? Vista chỉ là đồ tạp nhạp bỏ đi (Vista is junk). Liệu thứ quảng cáo phô trương cho Windows 7 có còn tin được chăng?

It’s official. Bill Veghte, Microsoft’s senior VP for Windows business, told an audience of the Microsoft faithful at TechEd that Windows users should not switch to Vista. Veghte said, “If you’re just starting your testing of Vista, with the [Windows 7] Release Candidate and the quality of that offering, I would switch over and do your testing on the [Windows 7] Release Candidate, and use that going forward.”

In short, Microsoft is finally telling you what I’ve been telling you all along: Vista is junk.

Microsoft has actually been doing this for over a year now. First, in April 2008, Ballmer described Vista as a “work-in-progress.” Then, he said users should skip Vista in favor of Windows 7 in October (http://blogs.computerworld.com/ballmer_says_skip_vista).

How many times must Microsoft tell its knee-jerk fan club that Vista was a mistake before they get it.

Now, Microsoft wants you to switch to Windows 7. Except, what a surprise, after the Vista fiasco, cash-strapped companies aren’t eager to try Windows 7 either. Instead, they’re sticking with XP.

Could it be that one reason why desktop Linux is finally grabbing some market share is that, discouraged by Microsoft’s ‘upgrade’ paths and prices, users are finally willing to give al-ternatives a try? One can only hope.
