A Honest Review of Vista

Now that my work computer is back from the dead with a new motherboard and 1 more stick of RAM I’m as happy as a pea in a pod. The word Vista came out of my mouth a couple of times mainly because I’m running a theme on my desktop that mimics it a little and I was having a brief conversation with one of our IT staff about it. Making a joke about the problems that IT will have with the new widgets and other stuff like that. These things just don’t fit into our security/ bandwidth model. Anyway, I came across this pretty straightforward review of Vista which I thought was a pretty honest review. Being a mac user at home I was glad to see someone acknowledge that ” yes, many of Vista’s features are pilfered directly from Mac OS X, and in general Apple has shown itself to be far more efficient and innovative in the operating systems market …” I also got a kick out of this line “The fact that it took Microsoft over five years and $6 billion dollars to create Vista is — and I mean this quite seriously — an embarrassment to the good name of American innovation…” Anyway, give the article a read some goods points were made and well taken.
