Happy 20th Birthday Microsoft Windows

"You know a computer operating system has really arrived and become a household name when journalists like us begin comparing it to teenage movie stars and young jocks."

<sigh> I'll compare it to a 20 year old if you'd like.
  1. It never does what you tell it to.
  2. After staying up too long it just falls over and crashes.
  3. It thinks it's better than you, even though you know better
  4. All its "friends" think it's indestructable, those who don't have their heads up Bill's butt know better.
  5. Ahhh... To be king of the world, when most of your peers are just plain ol' better than you.

You can read Greg Michetti's full article on Canoe. From what I can tell, he's being paid by Microsoft to say such wonderful things. No one is waiting for Vista. We're all waiting for Apple to get the Intel chips and lower their prices so that we can all buy Macs. Sheesh, you'd think he would've known. I'm not a Mac-head, nor a Linux-lover. Just someone who sees the problems of Windows on a day to day basis.
