Dvorak on Microsoft Confusing the Market

Posted by Zonk on from the funny-dvorak-article-blink-and-you'll-miss-it dept.

DigitalDame2 writes "With news of there being 7 Vista editions, PC Magazine Columnist John C. Dvorak takes a hilarious spin on the different Vistas with some recommendations of his own. How about the Vista Porn Edition? All the great porn sites would be pre-bookmarked. Gamer Case-Mod Edition? It can be ultraoptimized for games with a blinking hard-drive light. You can even go as far as the Microsoft Vista for Costco Customers: the Cheaper Edition."

    After years of fragmented Windows versions they finally made the one true merged OS that they had been praising for so long. Windows 2000 was really one OS to rule them all.

    But as soon as XP came out they invented a home edition, a professional edition, delayed the server and splitted up again. Why? And now this.

    It seems it's really all about the money. Sad, in a way. Since, other than with Unix, the most exploits still work cross Windows platform. :)
