Windows Vista – A Dead End?
I was cleaning out my bookmarks and came across this great post from John C. Dvorak at PCMag.com. It’s titled Is Vista a Dead End?
I tend to agree with what John is saying here, especially the part about Apple running out of ideas for Microsoft to try to copy (some would say they aren’t very good at it either). It brings to mind the old golf course joke, one guy bragging to the other about all of the things his new copy of Windows 95 would do. The other golfer said that all sounded great; in fact, he had been enjoying all of those features on his Apple since 1985!
The underdog that I have found myself rooting for is Ubuntu. This Linux flavor is gaining lots of momentum, including from Dell Computer.
If I had more time, I’d spend it on Ubuntu. Looks promising. For now, it’s more promising for individuals than corporate desktops, but who knows – in time.
