Journal twitter's Journal: Vista Has Not Caught up With GNU/Linux Yet.
Finally, an interesting car analogy. The author of this thourough comparison of Vista and GNU/Linux checks back in for Vista's first birthday party. He did not find much Vista improvement and still thinks GNU/Linux offers users a better deal.
In the early '80s, the idea that foreign cars could outsell Detroit's finest was treated as a joke. By 1990, a Japanese car model, the Honda Accord, became the first best-selling foreign car in the United States. Today, AMC is long dead. Chrysler spent most of the last few years as a division German-controlled DaimlerChrysler, until it was sold off in August to Cerebus, a private-equity firm specializing in troubled companies. Ford lost only $380 million in its last quarter. Of course that was peanuts compared with GM. America's biggest car manufacturer lost $38.96 billion in its last quarter. What ruined the Detroit car makers? It's a long story, but the heart of the matter was that they started turning out crappy, overpriced products. At the same time, the Japanese car makers were making well-engineered, inexpensive cars.
the market is saying that Vista doesn't work well enough and costs too much.
... a lot like those gas-guzzling, constantly breaking down American junkers. ... Steve Ballmer was born in Detroit, coincidence?
Glug, glug, glug. He might also mention that government protection won't save M$ any more than it could save Detroit and that there's plenty of American competition in the free software world.
