I forgot to mention that Pirollo is an iconic figure among Windows
professionals; some would say he is a Windows Guru. If that's what he thinks
of Vista, go figure...

...don't ask *me*. Apparently, bad software does bad thing to one's brain.
Scientists say that when a brain ceases to be challenged or aroused its
performance gets degraded and it shrinks. Honestly. I just hope Linux
doesn't becomes any less sophisticated. It's too user-friendly already. Damn
those Cannonical and their user-centric elitism!
