It is old news, but no less relevant.
The Hallowe'en documents are approaching their tenth anniversary. October of 1998 this information was leaked, and Microsoft doesn't seem to have changed at all in the intervening decade.
I'm predicting that if this trend keeps up, more users are going to get sick of that crap and end up making the leap to either Mac or *nix. Like I said, Ubuntu and other distros are making Linux more accessible to the new user than ever before.
Mind you, given Microsoft's strong commitment to maintaining deadlines, the next version of Windows ought to hit the shelves around 2015 or so. Vistas already in the wild, any major new policy changes are going to be most evident in it's successor.
