Is Windows Vista Ready? 'No. God, no.' 578
torrensmith writes "Paul Thurrott answers the question that some IT folks are asking: 'Is Windows Vista Ready?' His answer is not only no, but 'No. God, no. Today's Windows Vista builds are a study in frustration, and trust me, I use the darn thing day in and day out, and I've seen what happens when you subject yourself to it wholeheartedly. I think I've mentioned the phrase "I could hear the screams" on the SuperSite before.' He also addresses the more important question, 'When Will Microsoft figure out what's important?' and to Paul, like most IT pros, its not about when the next OS will be released, it is about having the OS work."

Yes, it's almost as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror, and were suddenly silenced.

Yeah, you first have to release the patch to patch the patch that patched the patch before the patch. Once the patches are in place, you gotta patch those. Then the OS might work. If not, patch it again.

They should just change the name to Microsoft Vista Forever and then they can take as long as they want.

And if I've got an axe, I'll make the drill. Actually, only the axe head is the important bit to start out with, although chopping down that first hickory might go a bit slow.
Ahhhhhhhhh, screw it. I'm just gonna build with stone and mud.

Will we hear the same bullsh*t when moving to 64 bits?
Anyway, the CD command always had very dumb parameter conventions. Maybe they have now fixed that.
For example:
- you can type the pathname after CD without space, like CD\Windows
- it accepts pathnames with spaces without quoting them, like CD \Program Files\Internet Explorer
Users switching from commandline-Windows to a Linux commandline interpreter often do not understand why they should type cd
But other commands in the Windows CLI do not offer this freedom. I think it was a big mistake.
