Well, it’s finally starting to happen; even the usually unflappable windows fan press is starting to catch on to the fact that Microsoft has gutted Windows Vista (something I blogged about over 6 months ago). Paul Thurrott goes over recent builds of Vista and analyzes the remaining features; the conclusions he comes to don’t make him happy — and don’t particularly surprise me.
The mainstream population has to wake up and start understanding that there are other options out there. They deserve: more convenient, more secure, and just plain better, from their operating systems. Microsoft either needs to start living up to their own marketing, or consumers need to start voting with their dollars.
