The Ars article is well-written - by a former fanboy, too. M$ has made their bed and the criticisms in the article ring true. My fortune 100 company is also talking about returning Macs to the corporate network. We do not allow Vista on the network and no planned migration date has been established. M$ is crashing under their own technical hubris and sloppy work.

The truth is that Windows is hampered by 25-year old design decisions. These decisions mean that it's clunky to use and absolutely horrible to write applications for. The applications that people do write are almost universally terrible. They're ugly, they're inconsistent, they're disorganized; there's no finesse, no care lavished on them. Microsoft<surely the company with the greatest interest in making Windows and Windows applications exude quality<is, in fact, one of the worst perpetrators." QUESTION: Why is the press picking so on MS? ************************************************************************ * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** ************************************************************************ * ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
