Windoze Vista officially sux

And Microslob admits it, extending the cutoff for XP to be available to custom computer builders. Essentially, you’ll be able to get XP until Windoze 7 comes out.

Windows Vista really is crap – SP1 says so

Microsoft has just released the long-awaited/dreaded Service Pack 1 for Vista and the file is huge. It’s 435 megabytes at Microsoft’s downloads window.

Holy crap. For a file that size, you could build a new OS from scratch.

How huge? It will take more than an hour to download — on broadband.

Irony alert: top Microsoft execs burned by the crap called Vista

This is so effing funny. Mike has a laptop he says is now a $2,100 e-mail machine, as it lacks chips to run a full Vista. Jon finds out an upgrade from XP to Vista is missing drivers for his printer and other peripherals. And Steven tells Jon that’s a system-wide issue.

Who are these people?

Mike Nash (is) a Microsoft vice president who oversees Windows product management. And Jon, who is dismayed to learn that the drivers he needs don’t exist? That’s Jon A. Shirley, a Microsoft board member and former president and chief operating officer. And Steven, who reports that missing drivers are anything but exceptional, is in a good position to know: he’s Steven Sinofsky, the company’s senior vice president responsible for Windows.

You made your bed, Bill Gates-style, gentlemen. Now sleep in it.

And, your company is facing a class-action lawsuit on those “Windows Vista Capable” stickers slapped on laptops it turns out were actually $2,100 e-mail machines. I’m sure Mike Nash will make an excellent, if hostile, witness for the plaintiffs.
