Why? Because It’s Windows 7

Bill Gates:

Improved technology and design alone will not be enough to keep Windows Vista and Office 2007 users safe from hackers and identity thieves, according to Bill Gates.

The industry must find ways to protect users from themselves in a world where people and business connect more devices, and where more business is done online.

Hmmmm.

You don’t hear comments like this from Patrick Volkerding.

Because they aren’t relevant unless you use Windows.

    I heard Patrick secretly uses Ubuntu at home.

    Did you hear about the hole in Vista that 70 million users are finding?

    Karen, not yet. But I wouldn’t be surprised.

    Opie, I would expect that he tests them all so as to keep Slackware the distro of iron.

    There are massive compatibility issues with IPod & the like. As well as computer games, is what I read.

    To a certain extent I think we all knew this would happen. In six month to a year there will be Vista Service Pack 1, and then later on Vista Service Pack 2, and by 2010 Vista will be pretty darned stable.

    I bet the people who put out the money for Vista are upset. I would be.

    Service Pack 2? I think I have that.
