PC Buyers Will Be Conservative This Year?

If you are thinking about purchasing a new PC during the holiday season, you may want to wait a few months. CNetNews.com has an article outlining the woes of the industry during this holiday season. Microsoft's weird and shaky debut of Vista won't happen until after the new year and I'm betting it may even be delayed further.

At one time it was kicked around that Microsoft would not make Vista available as a standalone package installable on a computer built by an individual. That would mean a disaster for the Windows folks on both sides. Apparently this rumor is being hushed up. Still looking for details here and will provide them in the near future.

Buy Vista? The beach house will wait. It's very possible it will be installed on only one machine just for work related projects. The five flavors are enough to throw anyone for a loop. Don't be too shocked at the cost when it finally hits the shelves.

I hope Microsoft proves my pessimism wrong, but seems they are hell bent on alienating the consuming public. Loudmouth Ballmer needs to retire and leave the CEO position to someone that is sane. What a jerk. He's the paranoid creep that thinks Microsoft should squeeze every dime possible out of the consuming public. No need to link, this guy is all over the net as the Saddam of the computing world. Wow, maybe a new friend for Darth Jobs?
