MS is just a stagnant, lumbering behemoth.

I think he chose 2 years not only for the transition, but because at that point, Vista will be out for awhile, with at least one SP, and he "can leave on a high note", if you will.

But your quote above is perfect, and I don't think it's going to get any easier for them . While people will go to Vista, in general, people do NOT want to buy a new OS or Office suite every couple of years. And that's the bread and butter. They're only saving grace would be a subscription service (where you pay once a year, and can run whatever the latest and greatest is), which is what they're trying to drive businesses to...
