Windows Microsoft's "You find it, you keep it" campaign, which directly attacks Apple, has seen another instalment. The first one, with Lauren criticising Apple for its pricing policy and lack of choice, was met with mixed reviews, and I'm sure the second one will not be received any differently. Giampaolo disses Apple for a lack of power and being all about aesthetics.

And it still exists today in Windows Vista; crap layered on crap layered on crap layered with new flavour of crap. Microsoft Windows is the quintessential example of a crap product whose lack of leadership from the top down shows in everything part of the operating system.

From the GUI to the various bundled applications it looks like a Linux distribution from over 10 years ago where every bundled application uses a slightly different widget kit based on when it was developed; I'm not talking about look and feel, I am talking about the fact that over 20 years Microsoft has developed and evolved widget kits (command controls as some call them) and continues to use them to this day.

Microsoft reminds me very much of the stoner who sits in the corner of the room who goes, "dude, you just like need to chill out, colour it a gaudy dark grey with some transparency and call it vista - like vista reminds me of my beach house where I got this narley root from this hot chick!".
