Vista vs. desktop Linux: One year in
,----[ Quote ]
| Have I mentioned yet that Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer was born in Detroit?
| Coincidence?

| To me, Vista is a lot like those gas-guzzling, constantly breaking down
| American junkers. I have been using Vista for more than a year now. It still
| doesn't run all my hardware. It still has problems with some of my Windows
| applications. And, even as PC hardware prices continue their perpetual drop,
| I still find that the average PC with 2GB of RAM, built-in Intel graphics and
| a middlin' performing dual-core CPU isn't fast enough to run Vista
| acceptably.

| This is the situation I believe Microsoft is finding itself in with respect
| to Windows Vista: if there’s one thing that stands out from what I’ve been
| reading and from the letters you send me, Vista isn’t cutting it.
