Star Vista: 'Not Yet Ready for Prime Time'
Linked by Thom Holwerda on Wed 6th Sep 2006 18:24 UTC
Windows Two negative reviews of Vista RC1. First off, CRN says: "Microsoft is making its first Vista release candidate and pricing information more broadly available to partners and consumers this week. Solution providers who have seen it say it's not yet ready for prime time." Our favourite Microsoft Apple Microsoft zealot Paul Thurrot posted the 2nd part of his RC1 review: "Overall, Windows Vista is a stunning bit of work. But the devil is in the details, as they say, and Microsoft has never been very good at consistency and that final bit of polish that separates something competent from something wonderful." In the meantime, one of Vista's lead developers has left Microsoft.

how does Dell compete with Microsoft? Doesn't Microsoft basically tell Dell what to do and Dell follows?

OK, I could tell when I posted it that was not going to get my point across. The point is that fragmentation in the PC market has done it (the market) more good than harm, not the other way around.

not replying to you...

I'm replying to twenex...hence I'm one level under him, two levels under you ;)

Or another way of seeing it is to look at the actual Subject...twenex is RE, I am RE[2], you are RE[3] and now this response is RE[4]...

If i was responding to you it would have been RE as well...not RE[2]...
