Like Mary-Jo, we were interested to see that Microsoft is extending its downgrade rights to XP by another 6 months as reported by The Register.

Unlike Mary-Jo, we don’t think this is confusing at all (to Vista, XP or any other users).

Basically, Microsoft listened to its customer base and responded to feedback. There’s no reason to think this suggests Vista isn’t ready for prime time (as Mary-Jo alludes to) – rather it’s just that Vista isn’t appropriate for some customers at this point in time. Simple.
