Am i reading this/. article wrong, or am i right that it says that DNF is done and coming to XBLA!? If i read that right, i'd like to correct you. Joe is talking about a ported version of the original Duke Nukem 3D and _not_ DNF. This has nothing to do with DNF at all...
I believe part of the hatred comes from the fact that Microsoft don't seem to listen to their customers. Instead they, time and time again, try to convince everyone that Vista is the right way to go, even though only few people seem to agree. It's the Microsoft way - or the highway. The same thing can be said about most of Microsofts techs.
What's the point of building an operating system which is a grand system hog as Vista is and at the same time don't deliver any significant changes compared to XP?
Luckily Microsoft is slowly loosing their grasp on the market, and people are beginning to see that there are in fact alternatives that might actually be better than what they are used to.
Here in Europe i almost daily see local headlines like "Hey, open source is actually pretty cool!". And those headlines go all the way to the people who never cared about it before. We're talking government officials. It's a relief to me that Microsoft is getting some competition. In the end it will be extremely healthy for the entire industry, and it's already starting to show when Microsoft is actually talking about being more open. Hell almost froze over and pigs were flying the other day when i read about ODF and Office 2007.
Anyways, to me, Vista is a complete failure. The second coming of Windows Me if you like.
