It sucks.
Next question?
Actually, I am a recovering Windows user. I was actually excited when Vista came out, and in the beginning, thought it was quite beautiful. I got mad when people crapped on Vista. Then I got a taste of the Kool-Aid – and what I realized is that while one lives in a ratty trailer park, a new Dollar Store is a thing of ravishing beauty. I liken Vista to a painted lady. She may look good when you’re desperate, drunk, and she is standing under a dim streetlamp, but in the daylight…… <shudder>. OSX, my friend, is the lady and not the tramp. And the lady is not likely to contract infections from unsavoury sources.
Interesting story from Steve Jobs in a Box
A few hours after Jobs’s conversation with Walt Mossberg at D, the crowd started lining up for what was billed as a historic reunion: For the first time in eons, Jobs and Bill Gates would be appearing together on the same stage. Naturally, the hope was that they would pound furiously on each other—verbally, that is; actual fisticuffs seemed a dream too far—and there was reason to believed that such prayers might be answered. Earlier in the day, Jobs had quipped, in answer to a question about the popularity of iTunes on Windows, “It’s like giving a glass of ice water to someone in hell.”
Gates was apparently furious about the crack. And not surprisingly, for it touched a nerve that had been raw since 1996, when Jobs had uncocked a scorching and widely noted critique of Gates’s company in the PBS documentary series Triumph of the Nerds. “The only problem with Microsoft is that they have no taste,” Jobs said. “They have absolutely no taste, and I don’t mean that in a small way. I mean it in a big way—in the sense that they don’t think of original ideas and they don’t bring much culture into their products.”
Yeah, yeah you might say, but Microsoft Windows 7 is going to be out. The Vistaster is over! Guess again.
InfoWorld analysis reveals that “Windows 7″ is really Vista SP2. Or as they put it: Putting lipstick on a pig.
