A site boasting to offer irreverent Apple news boasted some frankly irrelevant news yesterday. An opinion piece titled " Will Vista Be the Last Operating System Microsoft Produces?" suggested that after Vista, that's it in the OS game for Microsoft. We urge you to read it.

The article argues that if they do put out another OS, it won't be until 2015. How, I hear you cry, could this be so? Quite simple, according to Apple Matters (we'd pun the name, but hey, you can over do it). First, Vista is just too big! Secondly, that web based Google OS is coming. Thirdly, that Microsoft have lost some employees to Google.

If Vista is good, then either something has to happen which will require a successor (maybe seriously multiprocessor desktops, it the trend to cores rather than speed continues), or Micro$oft has to "manufacture" an upgrade requirement - the danger of being mostly dependent on one supplier, is that they call the shots.

On the current overruns to the Vista schedule, maybe the desktop PC will have changed beyond recognition by the time the next release is due.
