Aw, come on. What’s wrong the corporate bloatware?

Well, lots:

I said that users should wait to buy new computers until the new version of Windows, Vista, was available — and that “of course” they should buy Vista-equipped machines once they could. That was wrong. I apologize.

What’s the problem with Vista? In exact programming detail, I’m not sure. But despite a number of things it does nicely — snazzy screen display, very rare blue-screen crashes, and some other things I’m sure I’m forgetting — I find myself working against it more than with it.

Vista takes forever to start up or shut down and in general feels overweight and slow.

And before you get too mad at me — hey, unlike people who start wars in which their own kids don’t serve, I’ve paid the price for this misjudgment myself.

(And to spare myself the next zillion emails: I already have a Mac!)

Heh.

So do I.

Why wouldn’t anyone else?
