Why are they forcing Vista on us when almost everybody hates it?

To sell product to people who have already purchased Windows. Had they actually created a better operating system, people would upgrade gladly without coercion, but legacy API's and environment compatibility keep them from implementing many features and cutting down on bloat.

In my opinion, Microsoft needs to make another operating system with a more modern kernel, filesystem, and API. The problem of course, is to get developers to migrate. If they do, then users will.

After all, it took a loss to Carter to foment the conservative success that became the Reagan Revolution.

The problem is, can anybody at MS write code anymore? Office 2007 is a PITA. Vista has already been discussed. I think MS is collapsing under the weight of it's own bureaucracy.
