The Sad History of Vista

[Frank]

From a M$ employee:

"mismanagement and corporate bloat. i had over a 10 year career at
microsoft and watched windows and windows nt grow up. when vista
(longhorn, cairo, etc.) was being made, i watched the bloated
microsoft machine fail worse each time. and with vista, saw them
literally have to throw the code away, get a new vp, and start over.
years of work thrown away. then they started over with the windows
server 2003 codebase and wrote as fast as they could again from the
beginning while throwing out all the innovative features.

vista is nothing other than nt with a new coat of paint because of
that. and that is another reason why i left microsoft. i had,
unfortunately, missed that they already jumped the shark. "

Hey Frank. When I read this I thought you went off the deep end, then I
checked the headers. Some douche bag used your name.

Strange that anyone would want to be associated with that scumbag. In any
case, "Frank" is a very common name, as is "Bill". The solution for
your "Frank" is for him to call himself "Francis". That's what most of us
know him as anyways. Francis - THE Usenet Village Idiot - to be more
precise.

Cheers.
