Article says a Microsoft-funded IDC study says Vista will create 50K
jobs in Europe.

Since Microsoft paid for it, there's an agenda, but one wonders exactly
what it is.

Sounds like a study designed to reassure people that it is OK to be a
Microsoft IT person in Europe, where Windows has been rapidly losing
market share.

But it could be a lot of things.

Alternately, maybe IDC has teeth and they are subtly hinting that Vista
will be so buggy and resource hungry that another 50K workers will be
needed for that reason.

I doubt it, but its fun to think that way.
