twitter's Journal: Preserving EWeek Vista Rejection.

I thought I'd preserver a few choice quotes from Steven-Vaughan Nichols', "Night of the Living Vista" (2007-09-28) before the article vanished.

Today, I think of Vista as the zombie operating system. It stumbles around, and from a distance you might think its alive, but close up its the walking dead.

Even some of Windows most loyal users are finding that its poor performance, lousy software support and pathetic driver support is too much to stomach. [this is not the usual legacy backlash] I've been through these cycles many times before. This is different.

If you want a better operating system than XP, may I recommend Xandros [or Dell's Ubuntu laptops, or a Mac!] Whatever you do, even if its just sticking with XP, you'll be doing better than moving to Vista.
