Some from Microsoft's two headliners today. First, Steve Ballmer announces in Boston that never again will you wait as long for a Microsoft OS as the five years (and counting) you've been waiting between Windows XP and Vista.

I say we focus on getting Vista out the door before we start the clock ticking on Vista's replacement.
