Forbes too often pulls the onward-Christian-soldiers shtick with high-tech, but it makes a good case that in computing
the irresistible force of simplicity is about to meet the immovable object of complexity. It is now obvious Vista does the same thing as XP with twice the hardware needs, and the only trade-up is a snazzy transparency effect that may not be worth all that moolah. And people are tired of buying a computer every three years just to buy a computer. We would not bet the farm against Bill's Bugdom, but with all these businessmen creating and deploying cheap technology we may wonder if His jig is finally up.
