It’s always interesting to see how the Linux fans will feel about the new Microsoft Vista OS. Apparently, there are not a lot of spots for interpretation.

Oh! My aching head.

When I first saw ExtremeTech’s Why Windows Vista Won’t Suck, I thought: “Ah-ha, sarcasm.”

Nope. I was wrong.

They really were saying that Vista is pretty good.

Oh please.

First, let me say, I’ve been running Vista myself for quite some time. Next to me at this very moment is a Gateway 835GM. Under the hood, it has an Intel Pentium D 2.8GHz dual-core processor, an Intel 945G chipset, 1GB DDR2 (double data rate) DRAM, a 250GB SATA hard drive, and built-in Intel GMA (graphics media accelerator) 950 graphics. That’s a fairly powerful machine. Which is a good thing, because it’s the only PC in my office of 20 PCs that’s got enough oomph to run the Windows Vista February CTP (Community Technology Preview) build 5308 without driving me into fits of rage.
