Windows Vista Fiasco continues….
Wow, Microsoft just slipped Vista again. This is monumental news, the 2007 season will be much bleaker for computer retailers without computer & spiffy new Microsoft OS to hype, then again, maybe Apple will wise up and get wider distribution of their computer. Something serious must be up inside of Microsoft, reading the blogs of various Microsofties it is readily apparent there is discontent in the ranks.
Folks are already comparing the windows group at Microsoft to the Apple in the mid ’90’s when we got the entire Apple Copland fiasco. Unfortunately for Microsoft, Paul Allen didn’t go off to start another operating system company like Steve Job did with Next. When Vista does ship it better be a blockbuster for Microsoft.

Mark Russinovich is brilliant, check out his latest here:Mark’s Sysinternals Blog: Sony, Rootkits and Digital Rights Management Gone Too Far
Mark is an awe-inspiring engineer. And WTF is up with Sony. Who & how could this ever be allowed. Seems like we need anti-malware that detects software from well known corporations. I wonder how long till the class action lawsuit. Hopefully soon. So sad to see Sony go down this way…
