Vista complaints 1753

I couldn't care less about some unrealistic roadmap that Microsoft put out.
Mitch In the relevant line of consumer OS, I already said that Microsoft said that their development process was screwed up, which caused them to...
Vista's not a *major* upgrade, but IMO it's like going from OSX 10.1 to 10.4. Apple went form 10.1 to 10.4 faster than Microsoft is going from XP to Vista, but you have to remember that during the same time Microsoft spent time on XP SP2, XP 64, Windows Server 2003, Windows MCE 2005, TabletPC, Windows Mobile (and the other WinCE stuff), XP Embedded, and .NET 2.0. All of those OS products had updates (sometimes multiple updates) from the time that XP was released up to today. Only Longhorn-Vista itself was delayed, and that's largely because of Microsoft's screwed up development process (which they've publicly admitted) which caused them to start over in 2004 using Windows Server 2003 as the base rather than XP (and yet XP work still continued to get XP SP2 out the door). It's not like Microsoft was doing nothing wrt their OS products during all this time.
