More articles about Vista being a big mistake
"10 Things I Warned Microsoft About Windows Vista".
"Death Match: Windows Vista Versus XP".
"They Criticized Vista. And They Should Know". (The embarrasing e-mails story from the NY Times, 3/9.)
And, while not totally on point, food for thought: "50 Reasons to Switch from Microsoft Windows to Apple's Mac OS X".
Okay, but just to show you that the other guys can screw up too, your blog no longer renders correctly under Safari 3.1. Not sure if this is a problem with my particular configuration or a generalized one, but I have to switch to Firefox to read you (I'm running Leopard).

Microsoft wrote Vista because they needed the money. Nobody asked for a new operating system. Nobody asked for an operating system that broke things that worked fine with XP, like printers, scanners, etc.
Microsoft may still win. Their established mode of operations in dealing with a competitive threat is embrace, enhance, and extinguish.
They will embrace XP, "Yeah, we'll support XP as long as you like!"
They will enhance XP. Over time, the service packs will include Vista like features.
They will extinguish XP when the Vista like features have made XP into Vista lite and true XP is gone. Might as well go "real" Vista then, eh?

you know I had a few problems at first, but Vista is not really all that bad. It has a few features I like and better security than xp. true, there are some OLD programs that do not work on it, but I needed to upgrade those anyway.
