Windows Shock and awe; Windows Vista has been released to the hounds (that would be us). As just about every publication has reiterated a thousand times over it took 5+ years of design and development and cost USD 5.5 billion both directly and indirectly. We were promised (maybe not even promised, but bullshitted) a revolutionary operating system and what we got is for you to determine for yourselves. I personally think it's a disappointment to say the least.

Why are we surprised?

We shouldn't be. I was suckered into the upgrade scam that was XP and I learnt my lesson then--why didn't you? Sure, XP may be a respectable OS NOW (especially as users have discovered how to work around and with the OS) but when it was released as "teh best OS evah!" remember how swiftly we discovered the system was a joke? Melissa, Code Red, ILoveYou, etc?

Fool me once, maybe; fool me twice?

I don't &%$# think so...
