An OS by any other name would stink as bad.....

Microsoft, the people who have brought you the pathetic imitation of Apple's operating systems, now known as OSX, now are about ready to release the long awaited Windows OS, code-named LONGHORN, as Windows VISTA. It was an ambitious project, Microsoft's attempt to release an operating system sometime in this century, that might somehow compete with OSX in user friendliness, stability, etc, had to scale back it's ambitions in order to get something out the door, so half of the features this new OS might have employed in the OS wars against Apple have had to be left out for now, lest PC users come to the long overdue conclusion that Microsoft hasn't a clue as to how to create something that "just works".
As a favorite target of hackers and miscreants the world over, the Windows Operating System has always been a hapless construct of bad code patched over and over again in a vain attempt to keep it capable of running more than a day before the viruses and trojan horses have rendered it worthless, at best, or a vehicle for identity theft at worst. Anyone who has used a PC for any amount of time is quit familiar with such terms as CRASH, REBOOT, INFECTED, etc. Wouldn't it be equally wonderful if every car you bought required a special add-on every week or two in order to keep it from exploding, and wouldn't it be even more thrilling if you had to shell out hard-earned bucks in order to pay for these add-ons? I speak of anti-virus programs and special firewall programs most Windows users spend millions of dollars each year in order to protect their PC's from Windows vulnerabilities. Well, if you are allergic to such drama, consider this. Macintosh users do not have to worry about such things. We turn our computers on, go surfing the net, plug things in, and (You might not believe this, but it's true) they just work. No antivirus programs, no patches every five minutes, no mayhem.......Apple's just work.
So, we who have for years known the peace of angst free computing welcome Microsoft's new efforts in bamboozling it's clueless customers with yet another operating system sure to continue the long tradition of Winblows dominance. It can only make an Imac look even better.
