Business 2.0 Says 'Boycott Vista'
amyandjake writes "Business 2.0 has a story about Vista's delays, the amount of time wasted by Microsoft bringing Vista to market, and the fact that it doesn't seem to have any compelling features for upgrading. The last paragraph of the story says 'Boycott Vista. Keep your old Windows XP PC around. Don't buy a new one. That's the only way we have to let Microsoft know Vista is an overhyped, late, and pointless update to XP — a perfectly fine operating system.'" Relatedly, torrensmith writes "Paul Thurrott is at it again with his seemingly never-ending supply of information about Windows Vista. This time, he discusses the things he dislikes about the program, in the article The Dark Side of Windows Vista RC1."
I wish I owned one of these crumbling industries. Microsoft is making one billion dollars in cash profit every month and that figure is increasing every month. Likewise the movie industry just enjoyed a very profitable year (with a large percentage gain in profits over last year). Of course this is slashdot, where reality and truth dont seem to penetrate
Yes they are making large amounts of money but so were the railroads in the early 1900's.
