Vista™, Anyone?

An interesting post on how people are writing up Vista™
Seems they’re saying parts are almost as god as Mac.

This is what's fascinating to me, though: tech journalists aren't just falling for the flash, like they might have done in the past. They're not saying Flip 3D is better than Exposé. They're saying it's almost as good. Similarly, they're not saying Gadgets are better than Dashboard—they're saying they're similar, and that they kinda prefer how Dashboard (and Yahoo/Google Widgets) work. Because they're not just relying on the Mac's screenshots before making their judgment (like I am, heh). They're basing it on first-hand knowledge... because they've all used the competition now. And in many cases prefer it.


Read it all at the Peeve Farm:
You can't learn instinct

Love the first comment:


1. Mike Silverman - 13:00 Sat 2/3/2007 ( email | web ) As part of my job, I've been using Vista for months now, and it really is "the best Windows ever."

Which is kind of like exclaiming, after a smooth, relatively trouble-free experience at the dentist: "Best root canal ever!"


PS: It's an operating system, no? Why are there seven (7) different versions of an operating system? That would be like saying ther is MAC OSXa, MAC OSXb, MAC OSXc, etc. WTF is that!?

Bill Gates is an Idiot

Gates = Idiot
(A rich idiot, but still an idiot.)

Speaking of Vista™ vs. Mac OSX™:
