Vista the Last of Its Kind

An anonymous reader wrote to mention a TechWorld story about Windows Vista. According to the Gartner Group, Windows Vista is likely to be the last of its kind. "The problem is that the operating system's increasing complexity is making it ever more difficult for enterprises to implement migrations, and impossible for Microsoft to release regular updates. This, in turn, stands in the way of Microsoft's efforts to push companies to subscription licensing. The answer, according to Gartner, is virtualization, which is built into newer chips from Intel and AMD, and has become mainstream for x86 servers through the efforts of VMware." Speaking of Vista, C|Net reports that a new release candidate is on the way. The average tester should expect it by the end of September.

    This is just one of many ubargeek threads posted here on /. It serves a single purpose, and that is for those who live off of these buzz words to sit here, cock in one hand, keyboard in the other, arguing over who knows most while all people involved wank off. Sorry, as much as you'd like to believe, knowing THIS much about technology really doesn't mean shit in the long run. Just think about that when they're lowering your casket into the ground. I love elitists because they die just as easily as any other creature.

    You know what? I think you are the biggest dumbass to ever wake up in the morning. I use linux, and I don't use it because it is free. If you will notice, you will see that at least Red Hat is making an "Enterprise" edition of linux that COSTS MONEY! OH MY GOD! LINUX COSTS MONEY? yes, it does, bitch. linux is 600% better than Windows, and about 10-15% better than mac. The fact that this may be the last Windoze OS is music to my ears. I use linux for code development, hacking my network, and other various things that are impossible to do on windows without it crashing.

    Motherfucker.

    You mean like this butterfly?

    As for the rest of your comment, I'd really love to know how someone with such a tenuous grasp on reality can be allowed to have kids.
