Analysts predict a better 2008 for Microsoft

Analysts expect 2008 to be a better year for Microsoft than 2007 if the company can overcome the generally poor market reaction to the introduction of Windows Vista.
The upcoming launch of Windows Server 2008 and the release of Windows Vista Service Pack 1 could help improve overall market perceptions of the operating system in 2008, the analysts said.
"Right now the buzz around the upcoming Windows Server 2008 is very positive and there appears to be huge demand for the product, which has resulted in some rather impressive deployments of the beta. I'm expecting strong numbers from that offering," Rob Enderle, an analyst at the Enderle Group, told eWEEK.
