That's not strictly true. People generally skip every other version of windows because somehow every other version sucks.

Right, but that does not imply a move away from Windows in general. People 'update' whenever they buy a new machine or the IT department makes them update. Whether or not they skip a version or two does not kill Microsoft immediately but it does not save them either.

I guess what I was trying to say was that Microsoft seems to be losing right now and they might just die in the somewhat near future. However, this will not be the direct consequence of a bad version of Windows or of people skipping a version. We have seen that before. People always complain about change, especially about changes in something they don't understand but have to use anyways. So people complaining about a new version of Windows is not interesting.

Oh I agree with that. If Vista didn't kill them (or even hurt them, really) I can't imagine this will either.
