"In my view, we lost our way," Vista's manager, Jim Allchin, wrote in an e-mail (later posted online) to Microsoft founder Bill Gates and chief executive Steve Ballmer. "I would buy a Mac today if I was not working at Microsoft."

Pretty piss poor article anyway, IMO. Guy argues that people shouldn't attempt to do large scale innovation when there are still bugs in existing software.

Bugs in software will never go away. XP is fairly well hammered out, and is a fairly stable piece of software, there's no reason to say that new innovations shouldn't take place just because there are bugs in it.

Just another whiner.

He (and N8) totally took that email out of context too. It was written in 2003 when they trashed vista and started over, but the article makes it seem like it was written yesterday.

Yeah, but that's so typical of n8's copy and pastes when he's trying to make a point that I didn't even bother to point it out
