Vista is the Last of the Dinosaurs

Pundits are starting to wonder if Microsoft will ever build another Vista. Business Week claims that it took nearly 10,000 people more than five years to make Vista. As the Seattle Times points out, since the average Microsoft salary is $200,000 that is $10bn that Vole shelled out for salaries alone

It is less likely that Vole will want to blow billions on another operating system ever again. If it has any sense it will be looking at ways to connect consumers to services while unlocking computer power for the likes of games.
