Vista marks end of 'planned software'
,----[ Quote ]
| Big software releases like Windows Vista mark the end of "planned software"
| for the industry, according to Red Hat CEO, Jim Whitehurst.
|
| Speaking at a forum here Friday, Whitehurst said the proprietary, "top-down,
| planned" software development model characteristic of closed source companies
| is coming to an end--one which is demonstrated by the number of bugs in
| Vista, he said.
|
| Whitehurst claimed that there are "half the number of bugs in Linux per
| thousand lines" compared to the Microsoft operating system, because of the
| open source collaborative model.

MS Insider: The Office Crew Isn't Smart Enough to Supplant Real Windows
Developers
,----[ Quote ]
| "With Alchin retiring, MarkL and MarkZ, two of the most talented
| architects in MS already having left, the picture gets really
| ugly for the Windows division," my friend claimed, and the BV's
| core team members, Ian McDonald, Jack Mayo, Todd Wanke, Clyde
| Rodriguez and others are starting to connect the dots.
|
| [...]
|
| He concluded ominously. "A trainwreck of biblical proportions looms.
| Pick a good seat on the sidelines, trainwrecks this large take
| awhile to complete. Vista may be the last MS OS for some time to
| come, especially if Cutler decides to play hardball."
