Dear Microsoft [Letter from a Windows fan, about Vista]
,----[ Quote ]
| Please take Microsoft Vista, and shove it up your collective asses. I
| hope you choke on it like I am choking on your freedom-limiting and
| stifled code. As for me, when you stop supporting XP, at that time I
| will go Linux or any other free, open source software that will allow
| me to do with my machine WHAT I WANT TO DO WITH MY MACHINE without
| your Orwellian code. I have reverted back to XP, will never upgrade
| until DRM and other such garbage is totally eliminated from the code,
| or until such time as hacks finally defeat your code, and I can get
| my hands on the hacked code. Even hacked code is better than yours,
| and that says volumes.

| Bill Gates, et al, why don't you go blow the RIAA -- all of them.

Vista - Even The Experts Are Giving Up On It

| This may be a time for people to explore alternatives like Mac or even
| Linux. I just installed PCLinuxOS 2007 beta on a test system and right
| out of the box (actually, it's a free download), it worked perfectly.
| Go figure. And, again, it's FREE!

| 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.

| Watch and drool. By the way, you can try this on your own PC right now!
| I'm not yet sure how to unlock every one of these visual effects, but
| damn - XGL is impressive...

Vista backlash grows; key advocate moves back to XP
,----[ Quote ]
| 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."
