- What is Microsoft Doing?
-
That was the question asked a few comments ago.
Microsoft has to come up with a GUI that is as visually compelling as Apple's. XP will start to look pretty old and ugly without a Vista makeover.
And since virtualization on an Intel/MAC is the
future money cow for Microsoft, they have to make sure that they fit in the snazzy graphics club.
You see, the baby boomers are going to start buying Intel/MACS because they are pretty and powerful. That's the reality of the situation.
"Make Windows pretty too". Those are the marching orders and no ohter consideration can override them. Of course the release version will be more efficient than the beta. It's called "the normal development cycle". It costs them nothing to say that the release version will be better.
