MSW Vista: The "meh" begins... what rhymes with "meh"?

This article really comes as no surprise.

Rather than making Vista revolutionary... by, say, eliminating the need for anti-malware software, Microsoft has added its own anti-malware-ware. Sigh.

Rather than providing its users with a powerful and fast CLI, Microsoft has opted to add still more bloat in the form of Vista's new "Aero" UI.

Parental controls. Uh. One more place where parents choose to abdicate the responsibility for raising their kids.

I'm not impressed. Apparently, I'm not the only one. This article and these comments suggest that a large segment of the population is ... unmoved.

The "meh" began today.

15 reasons, indeed

This is ridiculous

This scratches the surface

...and this is just plain scary



Now, as you may be aware, I'm not planning to jump on the Vista bandwagon. I'm just gonna step gingerly out of the way and let it roll off the cliff.



I'm not going to say you gotta use Linux. I AM gonna say, "You gotta dump Microsoft!"



You're an adult... you can do what you think is right, but I am not going to listen when all the remorseful pro-Vista folks drop to their knees, thrust their gaze skyward and scream, "Whyyyyyyyyyyyyy?!"



If you choose it, you deserve what you get.
