The great Vista gravy train
,----[ Quote ]
| Microsoft and its adherents would have us believe that the world
| is breathlessly awaiting the arrival of Windows Vista. However,
| many - perhaps most - of us Windows XP SP2 users are grumbling at
| the thought of once again being forced into lining the pockets of
| Microsoft and just about everybody else in the IT industry jumping
| on the Vista gravy train.

| I'm not masochistic enough to test Microsoft's betas and release
| candidates. The final product is usually rough enough; and as I write,
| that's not yet available. But I've seen the demos and read the propaganda
| and first looks. Vista promises a lot of potentially useful new stuff. But
| for now I can think of only one reason to worry about the thing: It will
| come with your next PC.
