I don't think Vista was as bad as all that. 7 is better, but Vista was not really the disaster that some people make it out to be. Windows ME is still the benchmark for disaster as far as I know.

Perhaps MS is smarter than we think. Perhaps they know that the new OS will always be criticized, and plan for the "replacements" that make it all better. Could it all be part of their development cycle?

"Have you ever seen Windows 1.0?" —— The CPO from whom I took over the "IT department," such as it was, at Fleet Training Group San Diego in the mid 1980s, when I asked him why 45 boxes of Windows 1.0 software were sitting in the closet instead of installed on our computers. As I recall it took about eight minutes just to load the software, and speed after it was loaded wasn't any better.

Ah, but have you seen Windows 1.0 running on a Core2? (Well, I think the video I saw was Windows 3.1, but still).

This Guardian article reminded me of this thread: David Cameron can't help the NO campaign because he is less popular in Scotland than Windows 8:

But he could help the Yes campaign.

He can be a positive if he wishes so.
