POPSHackers will feed on Vista in 2008, says McAfee Next year is the test for Vista. If it does not follow past trends and is seen as a significant trend breaker, it may be viewed as having achieved its stated goal (security). That may finally be the tipping point for wider adoption. However, this is (and should be) a scary time for Microsoft. If Vista is not seen as successful by next year, there may be a wider trend of moving to alternative desktop OS's, such as Mac, especially as the hardware requirements to run Vista far exceed those of other OSs. This may be the start of MS losing some of the OS market share in late 2008.
