People accept that Microsoft fails? Does the name "Windows Vista" mean anything to you? Of all the reactions people had to that version, "acceptance" isn't on

- philwelch 16y agoTo be fair, I can't imagine Google fucking up web search or AdWords without receiving the same kind of criticism. We can shrug it off when Google fucks up Wave, or when Microsoft fucks up Kin, as long as products like AdWords and Windows keep making money.
- bad_user 16y agoVista was 5 years late, overhyped, full of bugs and incompatibilities, slow and IMHO ugly. For me it was the biggest failure I've seen since Netscape Navigator. And while Windows 7 is not that bad, IMHO that's the next worst thing customers can say about your product.
