Submission + - Why Windows Sucks
mikkl666 writes: "In a presentation at a conference in Las Vegas, Gartner analysts gave a detailed analysis on what exactly is wrong with Windows, and what mistakes Microsoft made that let it happen. They point out that 'Microsoft has not responded to the market, is overburdened by nearly two decades of legacy code and decisions, and faces serious competition on a whole host of fronts that will make Windows moot unless the software developer acts.' An example is the market for mobile devices: 'Apple introduced its iPhone running OS X, but Microsoft requires a different product on handhelds because Windows Vista is too large'. As a conclusion, 'for Microsoft, its ecosystem and its customers, the situation is untenable. Windows as we know it must be replaced'."
