Hehe. Fabulous. However, I'd put a different spin on the "consumers
demanded to downgrade" issue. The real issue, IMO, is Micro$oft "force it
down their throats" philosophy.
It's simply inexplicable that they can just say to their OEM customers
"starting on this date, you will only sell the brand-new OS". Consumers
should be given a choice, over some phase-in period, *obviously*. The
brand-new OS is NOT going to be the best product, for large segments of
the market, *obviously*.
