Man they are scrambling and back-pedaling and spinning themselves into a tizzy up there in Redmond over the Vista fiasco. Now the new line of rhetoric is that Service Pack 1, released in 2008, will turn things around and spark huge demand. The wow is then, I guess. See the CNET story here. I wonder how many of Microsoft's current employees were there in the late 1980s. Not many, probably. So I guess when they walk around campus and hear that weird disembodied voice chanting, "OS/2 ... OS/2 ... OS/2 ..." they just don't know what it means at all.

I hope you send Ballmer a personal invite to the Redmond Apple Store to show them the Apple-campers waiting in line for Leopard in a few months. I may not be camping but I am eagerly awaiting the new OS and will be buying my iWork (and maaaaybe a keyboard) that week at one of my local fruit stands.
"Vista, the other white elephant"

Pfft.
Every new OSX "cat" has been a service pack.
It wasn't even usable before Jag-wire.
"Frankly, the world wasn't 100 percent ready for Windows Vista," Corporate Vice President Mike Sievert said in an interview at Microsoft's recent partner conference in Denver.
Should read "Frankly, Vista wasn't more than 10% ready for the world." Arrogant Microtard...
apple for another win! party at my house again! bring your own booze
The problem is, the noob Microsofties who weren't around in the eighties saw the old OS/2 banners and instead of thinking Oh Ess Two, interpreted it as Operating System One-half.
That's what VISTA is, of course. Half an operating system. The other half will be dribbled out of Redmond over the next 6 years as Service Packs and 'Critical Updates'.
Vista -- I can see the end from here.
