Windows Vista - RIP

Well…Vista isn’t exactly dead yet, but the first bits of  the next in the series — not Vista Plus or some such, but Windows 7 — has been released to the developers.  Slimmer, faster, presumably what Vista should have been.

I’ve never recommended an upgrade to Vista, and have suggested that folks buying a new PC, these days should try to get a “downgrade” to XP.  And I Guess I’m not the only one.  This sort of thing happens to Microsoft from time to time. (Anyone remember Windows Millenium Edition, aka Windows ME?)  But it shouldn’t.  All that wasted time and money learning how to use and optimize Vista, and of course the money wasted in Redmond.  Isn’t Private Industry always wonderful!
