Vista Indicates A Shift in Microsoft's Priorities
jcatcw writes "After hundreds of hours of testing Vista, Scot Finnie is supremely tired of it. And of Microsoft. Although 80% of the changes in Windows Vista are positive, there is nothing about Vista that is truly innovative or compelling; there's no transformational, gotta-have-it feature in Vista. But the real problem isn't with Vista. It's with Microsoft itself. His opinion is that Microsoft has stopped focusing on end users. They 'now seemingly make many decisions based on these two things: 1. Avoiding negative publicity (especially about security and software quality) 2. Making sure the largest enterprise customers are happy.'"
I disagree!
They could be likeable, but I hate both the actors!
The whole "going in for major surgery" gag was actually pretty good, but I don't like either of the people involved in the commercial. Someone else, somewhere here had a better arguement on the whole commercials... for whatever reason... I just don't like the people currently involved.

The interface is not the whole application. There's this stuff called "code" underneath it.
