Why Vista Release Date Really Slipped 562

anzev writes "A team manager for Windows for 5 years has decided to write a blog-essay about what caused Windows Vista project to miss the due date. Philip tells us in the blog, that Windows developers are writing an average of 5000 lines of code (which is *only* 1200 lines less than the national average of 6200 lines of code per year). He addresses issues like the Vista code being too complicated, the processes the developers have to follow too complex and a lot more. All in all it gives a nice insight into why Vista will be late, from a different perspective. Oh, and Slashdot gets mentioned too ;-)."

Here is an article that explain why it is a good idea to use something else than Internet Explorer. Mainly because of security issues, and standards support. Also browsers like Mozilla have some functions that you can't find in IE (block pop-ups, tabs, etc ...)

Journal Journal: Is a journal something like a blog ???

Yes, it looks like a blog.
A lot of people I know have a blog. Maybe it could be a good idea if I started one.
At least, if I die this night, there will still be some memories from me on earth.

Hmm, does some people use their slashdot journal as a blog ?
Do you think it is a good idea ?
