I don't understand why this article has attracted so many comments. What Mr. Dvorak points out is completely obvious. So obvious, that there should be no need to post any messages.
Apparantly though, there are enough rich, well fed morons in North America who have no clue about the world in general. Supidity, of course, is just a highly contageous disease.
I also vote for total anihilation, but for a different reason. Vista is trash. So is Linux. I am to lazy to point out in much detail the obvious reason why (no backward binary compatibility; chaotic design of kernel, glibc, etc; chaotic features - just consider the hundreds of X11 toolkits in multiple incompatible versions; and as of the last few years, linux is becoming bloatware). The only thing this OS (Linux) is good for is server side development. Alas, there is no good desktop OS.
