Is it getting Windows 98 like bad coverage?
----
Enthusiasts, like myself, are not even touching it. Many key magazine writers are putting it down heavily. It is still amazing to see what MS, supposedly a maker of operating systems, took five years to turn out. Very lackluster. Frankly, I think MS is their own worst enemy.
Rewriting huge portions of OS's behind the scenes offers very little visible to the end user.... and that's basically what Vista is.
THey did some interesting stuff, and rewrote huge huge amounts of the OS on top of .NET which in the long run isn't a bad thing....
But from what the end user can see and do, it doesn't look much different....
Basically it will penetrate as it becomes the only OS available with new hardware.

One of my favorite scenes from the South Park movie was when Bill Gates was executed because of Windows 98.
