"Vista doesn't even run well on uber-tricked-out hardware."

This phrase made my day.

Chris Pirillo who is or was a MVP for MSFT offered hundreds of suggestions to improve on longhorn. Did Mr. Sweatypits listen? NOPE.

I fear to ask this but *Mr. Sweatypits*? Can someone please explain this one to me?

If there's a scary YouTube video explaining it I may not want to see it. I've seen his other YouTube offerings.

Scary........

I am amazed that MicroSoft has become as made it this far with inferior products and not crumbing under presssure to create something of quality.... period! Apple is just a superior product both in hardware and software that they should be the dominate player... but thank God they aren't.

Oh it's a work alright. To bad it doesn't work Ballmer! That's why people are petitioning you to keep XP around.
The smart ones move to Macs and see how an operating system is done right.

Sadly, this video is not doctored. But, luckily, this one is!

Now give it up for me!

I think Steve Ballmer has got this one right- “It’s virtualization time for Microsoft”- but not in the way he thinks. I think a growing number of folks are going to use a virtualized Windows XP on their Mac and Linux machines as the switch from Windows being their primary OS. ;^)
