All Things Microsoft > Microsoft as a Company
Vista to be released in October come Hell or high water.

Well shit. I hate it when that happens. Maybe it's the military background. We always said insecure as in that guys an insecure little fucking prick. We used unsecure to describe a state of encryption or protection as in...This land-line/radio transmission/perimeter is unsecure, watch what you say/do. Of course the military does that with lots of words...

I'm not sure where to argue on this one. Vista is going to be the apocalypse, for sure. But any situation that makes Adobe and Symantec whine like little bitches has got to have some value, right? I like PDF, and I'm glad Adobe has made it somewhat open. And Symantec's SARC has proved an invaluable resource. Overall, I think Microsoft's drive to Control Everything(c) is the true villain here.
--- Quote from: "Calum" ---when they say "it's a feature, not a bug", do they seriously mean that microsoft have deliberately written resource intensive software with a wealth of undocumented security problems because somehow they believe their products should be based upon this model? that's the only interpretation i can imagine for that phrase.

Right. Except you call them "undocumented security problems", while Microsoft probably calls them "private backdoors which we may or may not use to add functionality (spyware) later on, but we're trying to keep somewhat secret right now". Just a difference in vocabulary, really.

You know I think if we somehow make a collaborative effort to explain to people how incredibly shitty Window$ is and how much shittier Vi$ta will be and then give them Linux or BSD as a good alternative, then I'm thinking M$'s stock is gonna plummet. Since more than 50% of servers run Linux (is this still accurate ?) they have only one major foothold left ... the proles, I mean the public. Really I don't think I can go out there and hand out CDs come October (next month) ... maybe I'll just try to spread the word as much as possible till then. Yeah, how about I add a link to the Linux wiki everywhere I can. I think M$ has a good chance of taking a major blow for fucking up Vi$ta so bad.
Wait, actually instead of a Wiki does anyone know of a site that shows all of Vi$ta's weaknesses and Linux's strengths ? I'll try to look for one, a short, concise, explanation why to choose Linux over Vi$ta.

They might've been me, if not I've said a similar thing before. The above spec PC should be fine for web browsing, Word processing, even some image processing.
