I can't imagine being more underwhelmed than I am by the Windows Vista campaign right now. Let me get this straight... You want me to pay money to upgrade my hardware so that I can get software that is bloated with features I don't want?
Adam [livejournal.com] linked to someone complaining about the usability of Vista [intelliadmin.com], and I thought that it was right on:
"I absolutely hate it when my 5000 file copy gets killed half way through because 1 single file can't be opened. Or better yet, how about when I start a copy to a remote file share that is not responding - and all of explorer locks up. Yes it still does this in Vista."Amen. Vista seems like more of a cosmetic upgrade than an actual improvement over XP.
A couple of people sent me a link to a video of the New York Times' David Pogue [youtube.com] discussing whether Vista is just a rip off of Mac OS X or not. It's really hilarious.
Ugh. At least all of those people who have been in a holding pattern over buying a new Windows computer can finally buy something.
