      Microsoft Succeeds in Making Vista Even Worse
      I have to say that I'm almost impressed with Vista. It's far better than any other Windows. I like the security features - okay, UAC goes too far but better too far than nothing at all. The CLI is still rubbish, which is deeply annoying because the beta versions (monad) showed so much promise. The filing system sucks too - but screw it, I've come to expect that. We all know that Windows isn't the best. It doesn't need to be, because Microsoft has no real competition - people will buy it anyway. The surprise is that Vista is as good as it is. I write Windows software for a living, but I don't drink my own kool-aid. I write in virtual environments on the machines I like - a ThinkCentre and a ThinkPad with Ubuntu, a MacBook and a PowerMac with Leopard and, occasionally, a SparcStation. I look forward, with hope, that one day Microsoft will come to the conclusion that all other true geeks arrived at years ago - the future of computing is a competitive standard with cross-platform programming tools. The name of the standard is Unix.
