My response to a Microsoft Vista blog posting

Not many things get me upset but this blog did get me upset:

Here is my response:

Vista may not be the greatest operating system ever built but I tell you that neither is the mac and especially not any form of Linux. I really don't want to tell you how many times we've had errors with Macs and an equal number of problems with all versions of Linux. Vista is the 21st century and there is more right than wrong with the system as built. SP1 not only fixes holes but provides operating system improvements as well. Apparently you're not very well versed in the law. Congress passed laws which state you're not allowed to copy any COPYRIGHTED digital media not even for a backup reason unless there is a specific license from the COPYRIGHT owner that says you can. Vista helps to protect industries from pirates and unfortunately there are more pirates than legit customers who want to do backups. Microsoft poured millions into its software and has a viable reason to protect it and license it. Just prior to release of Vista there was a big controversy about the licensing but Microsoft listened to its customers and made changes. Of course people like you are never satisfied. Most software companies have rebuilt there drivers and software to work on Vista. If they haven't they'll soon have to or fall behind in their business. I will agree with you on only one point and that is that Vista Ultimate is priced too high. This is a new century. It's time you started living in it. I am very satisfied with Vista stability and performance. It is true that you need very good system components and memory to run it at the optimum level. I run Vista 64 bit with 4GB of DDR2 ram. It's a very good system and with time Microsoft will make it a better and greater system.

Computer Case Technology

I'd like to comment on the current trend of computer cases. There are still far too many computer cases being built that do not adhere to customer needs. There are two primary concerns:

1. Noise
2. Heat

More companies need to engineer their computer cases to resolve these two aforementioned problems. I recently saw a cooler master cosmos 1000 and I have to say that this seems to be the correct direction but at the same time computer case manufacturers need to find a way to lower costs.
