I have been increasingly angry and frustrated about the majority of the news concerning Vista lately. I have been very optimistic and enthusiastic about the OS and related technologies, but to hear negative thing after negative thing about it, I let it out inappropriately. I don't mean to rag on you guys who make the great software, but the people who make the business and marketing choices. I will try to express my frustration in a different way from now on.

Although, I will say that he at least opened his mouth to confront an obviously unpopular corporate decision. I don't see any other 'Softies sharing their opinions or trying to defend the decision, short of swiping at my comment.

Will I be forced to buy a new vista license if I want to upgrade my machine more than once? What if I have to change devices due to hardware failure more than once?

Is this true? Are we enthusiasts unable to upgrade our systems without ponying up more dough for you guys? This is almost as bad as the WinFS news... Why are you trying to hurt your fans?

This will be even worse for my friend to hear because he is a big DB guy. I was so looking forward to that UX that allowed me to surf my sea of data in such a natural way...oh well...still a dream.

Check out www.gdctv.net for the video. I like where he razzes the MS guys for not giving the presentation themselves.

I liked Alex back when he wrote for Maximum PC magazine back in the day. Glad to see that he's been doing well. Don't like that WildTangent has spyware aspects to it, but I think it's been a positive development for the net in general.
