Windows Vista — Even the Biggest Windows Fans Reject It
Guess who is rejecting Windows Vista? A role model to many Windows users — Chris Pirillo. If he is upset with Microsoft, perhaps everyone should be.
Vista backlash grows; key advocate moves back to XP
Chris Pirillo just broke up with Windows Vista, saying, “The shipping version of this OS is late beta, at best.”
Jason Busch did the same: “It’s an absolute travesty that Microsoft would have released such a half-baked product.”
An Open Letter To Jim Allchin (from Chris Pirillo)
Jim,
Congratulations! Seriously. I’m glad that you finally got Windows Vista out the door, but I’m equally as thrilled to know that you’re working on releasing SP1 by the end of this year.
Who is next? Paul? Jim? Maybe even Scoble? Scoble is acting a bit like an elitist at time, yelling out at developers for not implementing RSS support (which he believes he’s some sort of Guru of). Chris Pirillo, on the other hand, I get along with pretty well because he’s kind (and certainly gentler than Robert Scoble). Good move, Chris! Show us the way to go.
