Great. If it reverses some of the truly bone-headed decisions that Vista was graced with — such as the Hollywood-friendly but user-hostile DRM stuff that’s built in — then it can’t come soon enough. And apparently even Microsoft secretly agrees…
Pulling such a major release forward would be out of character for Microsoft. Could this be MS execs having Vista panic attacks behind closed doors? It’s hard to know for certain, but it’s fair to say that customers aren’t exactly rising from their feet to applaud the firm’s current OS.
I’ll drink to that.
Your “drink to that” link is broke. By the way, MS has made a quasi-official statement saying otherwise in a letter to a pro-vista website. Let’s hope that letter is wrong.
I just checked the “drink to that” link. It does exactly what I intended it to do: it does a search of Geek Drivel for all entries mentioning Vista.
As a public company, Microsoft has to pretend that it has faith in it’s current products, even when everyone with half a clue knows that they’re crap.
Hm… the “drink to that” link worked from the main page, but not if you used it from the page with the article. Fixed now, thanks for letting me know.
