Make that "complete flop."

A few days ago, I blogged about Vista being a complete miss. I may have been wrong. It might end up being a complete flop, instead. Scott Finnie, whom I quoted in the aforementioned post, put the final nail in the coffin that have been his reviews of Windows Vista: after trying Mac OS X for three months, he's completely jumping ship and converting to Mac. Now, understand, this isn't just a random computer guy who was on the fence about which way to go. This is ComputerWorld's Windows expert. This is someone who has done several reviews of Vista. This conversion, despite the fact that he's still looking for software to replace some functionality he had on Windows, and he had some really "fun" things to convert, such as 500+ e-mail filter rules in his e-mail program. So, with glitches like these, why is he converting? Well, because "things just work." He says that despite the learning curve (and there is a learning curve, even if Macs are "easy to use), you spend more time working, and less time getting your computer to work. I've already been recommending Macs to people for a couple years now (I use Linux, personally), and I am certainly going to recommend Macs to people now who are wondering about whether to upgrade to Vista from XP.

I also came across an article on Forbes that really barbecues Windows Vista. I'll let you read the article, but the thing that really impressed my about this article was the fact that this was in a major business magazine. I'm wondering how many upgrades to Vista won't happen because of what was written.
