Microsoft recently commissioned a study showing that up to 100,000 new technology jobs will be created by the new Vista operating system. The study, which was performed by IDC, also estimates that for every dollar of Vista-related revenue that Microsoft takes in next year, $18 will be generated for the technology industry as a whole.
Initial reaction: yeah! more jobs more money in the economy - hurrah!
More cynical reaction: Are Microsoft’s PR people insane? Aren’t they basically saying that Vista will be so difficult to use that companies will have to spend $18 for every dollar they give to Microsoft to hire additional staff to make the new OS work? That’s not such a good thing….
Have any of you started playing with Vista? Is it that much more difficult to use?
