[olug] Microsoft Vista: Not 'People Ready'

I think it's increasingly obvious that Microsoft has simply outlived
their usefulness. These stuffed shirts at MS blather endlessly about
user friendliness--how long did you take to coin "People Ready"? Why
not shut up and spend that time actually DOING it? Meanwhile, Apple
continues to run circles around Microsoft in both simplicity, utility,
aesthetics, and, most importantly, turnaround time. Pretty much every
measerable way other than cost, which combined with incompatibility
with most Windows software are the only two things left holding them
back.

Steve Jobs sure is making Gates, Ballmer and co. look pretty foolish.
