  Posted by Jeff from Seattle Times
  Death on arrival: "Another major drawback: the instant-viewing system only works on personal computers and laptops equipped with a high-speed Internet connection and Microsoft's Windows operating system."

- Flaws Are Detected in Microsoft’s Vista
  Posted by Jeff from New York Times
  Microsoft is facing an early crisis of confidence in the quality of its Windows Vista operating system as computer security researchers and hackers have begun to find potentially serious flaws in the system that was released to corporate customers late last month.

- Microsoft Software Updates Go on Sale to Businesses
  Posted by Jeff from New York Times
  From the what drugs are the Gartner Group researchers on category...They are predicting a decline in personal computer operating system share for Mac and Linux for 2007 and beyond. People pay them for this data ... I guess Microsoft pays them for this data. Notice the entirely anemic penetration of Vista in CY 2007 and 2008.

- John Dvorak on Vista's Launch
  Posted by Jeff from Chineseinvancouver.blogspot
  "While there is no way that Vista will be a flop, since all new computers will come with Vista pre-installed, there seems to be no excitement level at all. And there does not seem to be any compelling reason for people to upgrade to Vista."

- A first look at Windows Vista, good and bad
  Posted by Jeff from Seattle Times
  Many will have to buy a faster PC or upgrade their current machine to run Vista smoothly. At a minimum, you'll need a system with a recent processor, 1 gigabyte of system memory and 128 megabytes of graphics memory. The word from insiders, including Dell's chief executive, is that you'll really need at least 2 gigabytes of RAM.

  I'm not really sure it sounds very good at all. Should go well with Vista.

- Slashdot _ Analysts Split Over Vista Launch Date
  Posted by Jeff from Chineseinvancouver.blogspot
  A 'ZDNet' report details comments by analysts on the upcoming release of Microsoft's newest operating system. Vista is currently scheduled to be released to businesses next month, and to consumers in January of next year. Not everyone on the sidelines agrees that the company will make that deadline, though. Reservations seem mostly to center around legal and political issues, rather than any concrete technical problems.

New Apple ads savage Microsoft's $300m Windows campaign

yes those are great commercials Vista does suck old nasty sweaty balls because it tried to DRM trap it’s users and offers very sub par experience and performance
but i would never use a Mac. it is an even more abhorent monopoly using the same hardware and overpriced. i will format them to XP for friends though.

Apple should be careful – those who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones. I have been an Apple devotee for decades, but the quality of their products and customer service has slipped considerably in the last few years. I only have to count the number of dead iPods and botch-fixed Shuffles littering my house to remind me that Apple hasn’t put the same amount of care and customer-focused consideration into its recent product lines. Arrogant Apple, rather than the old-school Affable Apple seems to be the order of the day. Strikes me that it will be the sort of cheap-shot ad that comes back to haunt them in times to come.

Umm, its an applet, so why the hell won’t it run on any devices that supports the proper JVM? Anyone know what the limitation is?

Not sure I buy into the idea that something is doomed just because it’s Windows-only (for now).
