Vista vs. Cairo - A Microsoft History Lesson

I shit you not, I was listening to the Wizard Of Oz on TV in the background when I opened this story.
Coincidence ?

Ya, A high traffic web site vs. the company that runs 90% of personal computers.. They are done for. In other news, the Java platform is posed to take over as the predominant OS.
