Ready for another Microsoft day?
The dubious honour of being allowed to purchase Microsoft’s Windows Vista operating system belongs corporates and business customers since today. The general public has another month or so to consider parting with a hefty license fee, upgrading or replacing their hardware and inviting DRM and information rights management to their homes. Built-in media player – ok, if you have an XBox. Fancy GUI – nice. Resource consumption – horrendous. Inclusion of features we really need, such as desktop search – already here with Google Desktop or Beagle.
It’s been two years late, so any further wait should hardly be a problem. Do yourself a favour: just try out Linux. Or get a Mac. There are alternatives!
