Good thing that most users don’t share your thinking. Rip everything out and leave stuff alone, that’s how we make progress alright *sighs*

Windows Vista and Windows 7 both suck for reasons that are by-and-large obvious to any tech enthusiast:

* More unnecessary system services to have a fully working GUI
(I don’t need NLA on my desktop, but if I don’t enable it then Network and Sharing Center – a new Vista feature, fails)

* Intrusive and annoying licensing services
(Product activation turned me away from XP, Vista hasn’t gotten rid of it, therefore Vista sucks)

* Increased system requirements
(Why is it that newer has to equal less efficient over at redmond?)

* Feature removals
(What happened to “restricted rights” mode on XP, where Run As could be used to run apps with additional restrictions?)

* More open network ports by default
(I want a system to be more secure against remote attacks OOTB, not less secure)

* Forcing IPv6 on users
(I want to have the choice over whether or not my TCP/IP stack loads with IPv6 or not – why should I waste RAM and have an increased surface area for intrusion?)

Chris Pirillo is just a drippy Apple shill. I wonder how much Steve Jobs pays him a month. NEWSFLASH FOR MACTARDS: Your underpowered and over priced Macs wouldn’t exist right now if it weren’t for Microsoft bailing them out.

look one suggestion to you Chris pirillo if you always ranting and raving about people getting macs did it ever occur to you that some people don’t want to switch and they can’t afford to. number two. if you always shouting down those with windows who have computer problems to get mac get a mac get a mac.. if you hate windows and Microsoft so bad stop using it and than rename your show or web cast to a mac help show …number 3. you sound a little hypocritical like you ranted against the i phone and wolla you get one … chris i have nothing against you seem like a nice guy but its the stuff you do and the stuff you write and say that is not right

If Vista sucks (and in my personal experience with the OS, that’s putting it very mildly) … and “everyone else” says so … why is he accused of “jumping on the bandwagon” if he has a similarly bad user experience? If Chris raved about Vista instead, would he be accused of being a contrarian?
Vista may shape up to be OK in the years to come, but let’s face it, Microsoft’s initial releases would barely qualify as beta software in anyone else’s book.

Oh I see, “Ethical journalism” consist of pretending something is really great when it’s not! Moron!
