I mean it! Let's all jump on Microsoft at the same time. Maybe something will pop. They deserve it. On the bright side, their latest screw-ups have let them take over the news cycle from Google, so they got that goin' for 'em.
Here's a Forbes column just shredding them in a way usually reserved for a slashdot posting.
The new version of Microsoft Windows, called Vista, has slipped again. It was originally going to ship in 2003. Then 2005. Then 2006. Now in early 2007.
...
Worst of all, I can't believe Microsoft actually held this big nonevent "event" only a few days before announcing another screw-up in Vista. If Ballmer knew he was about to announce a delay and still had this event, he's crazy. If he didn't know Vista was about to slip again, then Microsoft is in worse shape than anyone realizes.
...
Why not at least switch to an Apple Computer Mac? Apple's new operating system is stable, reliable and easy to use. The applications are simple, gorgeous and work well together. And they're here. Today. Steve Jobs must be waking up a happy man this morning.
I am really starting to look at a Mac for my next desktop, coincidentally enough.
