To play devil's (not Microsoft's, neither do I imply that Oliver is a devil)
advocate, Oliver crossed over from Java advocacy because he wished to be
persuaded that Linux is indeed right for him. He expresses hesitance and
skepticism, but to many his arguments seem like blatant misinteretations
that spread disinformation for readers to see. It's a grey area and I think
trust is needed.
I would still strongly argue that Vista is Windows XP (Server 2003, which is
its close sibling) with a new theme (the Aero component/project). The
underlying code of Longhorn was thrown away not so long ago. A promotional
list on Wikipedia gives nothing but sales pitch. Any /notable/ (READ:
pragmatic) promised feature, which Microsoft engineers had planned for
Longhorn several years ago, was conceded.

...which is why he is so well fed. Nothing appeals for more reaction than
lies and flames. That's why I stopped reading his lies... oops, I mean
posts.
