Windows Vista: A Tale of Woe
Poor Microsoft. Everyone expects them to be super-perfect at doing everything. Little wonder when I got my key to the Windows Vista Beta 2, I downloaded both the 32 and 64-bit versions to two of my last three blank DVDs. The first thing I thought of when I saw the welcome screen was a Mac […]
