Regarding losing its competitive edge to other operating systems, Vista's presence is even more out-there than predicted. I guess time will tell us if Microsoft is losing its competitive edge or not.

Removing features to make a huge, bloated piece of software work better shouldn't require another purchase. Give me XP or XP Media Edition, but none of this Vista BS.
