A blistering criticism of Windows' quality and Microsoft's strategy, from a long time Windows (and MAC) user who has now got fed up! This is in a UK major top rank newspaper:

'I have seen Bill Gates, Microsoft's co-founder, give presentations about how the next generation of software will change lives and let us perform many tasks seamlessly. Then I look at my laptop - the one I have to keep removing the battery from and unplugging to re-start - and I want to yell: "Forget all that, Bill! Just make this thing work properly!" '

"no matter how hard [Microsoft] it tries to make each version of Windows more reliable, after a while the old monster bites. That, at any rate, is my experience of Vista. It looks smart and it has nice features, such as a search facility that can find files quickly (unlike on XP) but the longer I use it the worse it behaves."
