Vista - the dawn of a new era

Vista is finally here and many of us have opportunity to try it before it hits the consumer market in late January 2007. By all means, the new OS is impressive and it will definitely be a success. Still, a question has been bugging me lately: is Vista going to be the swan song of traditional desktop-style, client-side operating systems from Microsoft or is just another step ahead? Clearly, the Redmond giant is moving full-steam ahead, with profits raising constantly. But others (like Google or Apple) also have a strong wind in their sails. And it is clear for every one that the winds of change are on the rise inside the giant from Redmond. Having this question in my mind, I found a very good article in BusinessWeek Online named "The Soul Of A New Microsoft". The article is located here and I definitely recommend you to read it because it contains a very good analysis on how the new Microsoft might look in a few years from now.
