While Vista was originally touted by Microsoft as the operating system savior we’ve all been waiting for, it has turned out to be one of the biggest blunders in technology. With a host of issues that are inexcusable and features that are taken from the Mac OS X and Linux playbook, Microsoft has once again lost sight of what we really want.

How can you not like an article that starts out like that. He makes a few good points in the article and is spot on for the most part, but I don’t think Microsoft will be taking his advice any time soon. I don’t think Gates and Balmer could stand to loose that much face. Plus the economic impact from the stock nosedive would be huge. Instead they’ll do what they’ve always. Stay pushing a 3rd rate product down everyone’s throat and tell us how great it is. Then patch it until it’s “good enough” to keep people from leaving en masse.
