Why Vista should have been an expansion pack
,----[ Quote ]
| Windows Vista has been out for almost a year now; either hated or loved by
| many. Not even Windows ME made Microsoft offer costumers a “downgrade” to
| Windows XP.

| This brings me to the point of this discussion/rant. Why do we get forced to
| buy this crap? I want an operating system not a software package. Put the
| whole visual package in “Fancy Windows 2007 , security programs in “Be Safe
| With Popups 2007 and the games in “Mac Ripoff 2007. Lets see how many people
| would buy your overpriced bloatware? Exactly, not many. That’s why MS uses
| it’s monopoly to shove it down your throat with their windows packages, like
| it or not.

An Open Letter to Microsoft: Re-Release Windows XP
,----[ Quote ]
| It's time to sober up on Windows Vista. This just isn't working out,
| and your users are getting frustrated to the point where they're souring
| on Windows altogether. In case you haven't seen some of the more
| noteworthy blog posts on this topic, I refer you to Chris Pirillo,
| Scot's Newsletter, or Spend Matters. Or check out the recent bug
| reports regarding product activation and security flaws. This is all
| stuff I managed to dredge up that was written yesterday.
|
| People are unhappy with Vista. Really unhappy. And though I know Microsoft
| has its own form of Steve Jobs' reality distortion field, it certainly
| can't keep you from seeing at least some of the sobering sales figures and
| the crush of disappointing reviews of Vista. I don't want to dredge up all
| the reasons people are unhappy with Vista in this letter. I want to talk
| about what you ought to do stop a mass migration to Linux and the Mac.
