Windows Vista - 3 comments

I find it difficult to judge Windows technology rationally. It's more a kind of gut hatred - as one colour scheme changes to another, a sinking feeling - as icons grow larger and more photorealistic, a throbbing pain - as the work of thousands of developers, busily doubling an application's size, is distilled into no obviously new and useful features whatsoever, and a silent tear for the future as more black plastic Dell boxes are churned out by the million, two years away from their destiny on the scrapheap.

Incidentally, I have used the 2nd beta of Internet Explorer 7, and it's difficult to overestimate how much - in the parlance - it blows. With the possible exception of obsessive, in-your-face security features, it's inferior to the merely slow, irritating, and obsolete Version 6 in every imaginable sense. I won't bore you with more, but will just leave you with the cheering thought: abandon all hope now.

Update: Anthony has a video...
