It's now Subsystem for UNIX-based Applications and it appears to be deprecated as of Windows 8.
I'm a developer at an ISV. Personally, I am waiting for XP to go. Microsoft has some great technology (WWSAPI, SQL Server 2012 LocalDB) that looks like it will solve some of the problems we need to solve with our application, but it's not available on XP. (Technically WWSAPI is, if you're willing to pay for the support contract.)
As it stands, while XP is still supported (mainstream, extended or otherwise) and we have customers on it we are unable to use these new technologies.
In the context of my job I don't think Vista is any different from 7 in terms of the technology available and the support effort.
At home I find 7 to be superior to XP and Vista. I don't think Vista fills any niche, XP has the 5-year-old-low-powered-device market, but anywhere else really should be using 7.
Where will this particular avenue lead us?

How does this invalidate my point? Have you tried opening a 100 page ODT file with tables and indexes made by OpenOffice in the various open software packages that support ODT and seen the results? The problem is universal - if OpenOffice was found to be infringing on this patent there will be similar issues.
Because if OpenOffice was found to be infringing on this patent and Dell packaged OpenOffice instead your post would read "Maybe this is a wake up call for people relying on *.odt", right? And that your post would also have a question mark next time.
Beginning Aug. 28, the price of an Xbox 360 Elite console will drop by $100, now priced at just $299.99 estimated retail price (ERP) in the United States. On top of that, the Xbox 360 Pro console will now be priced at $249.99 (ERP), reflecting a price reduction of $50
The arcade version has also had a reduction, down to $199.99. It appears Microsoft has answered Sony's move to offer the PS3 Slim."
Off the four men
You mean "of", right? I know it's China, but do we really want to off them?
"keyboard and mouse setup is still unreplaceable"
Is "unreplaceable" even a word? Try "irreplaceable".
Of course it's a word, Slashdot's editors would have changed it when they proofread the article otherwise. Duh.
