Vista is a good excuse to try out OS X and Linux. I know many
colleagues who are doing exactly that. The number of new Mac owners I
know is quite amazing. It isn't down to the success of Apple but down
to the failure of MS to provide an OS people want to move forward with.
Read the minimicrosoft blog to really understand why MS delivered such a
steaming turd. A benchmark in how not to develop software and
demotivate staff.
Oh, and before someone tries to carve a chunk out me about Apple. I am
a realist I know Apple is nowhere near perfect far from it.
