They are led by Ben and Socrates: fat, stinky, maladjusted, nasty, illtempered, fickle rats who just can't be pleased. Well, lately I have been feeling a little Willardy, you see some of the head fat, stinky, maladjusted, nasty, illtempered, fickle rats who just can't be pleased have been turning on MS just because they have had a few minor problems with Vista. The rats:
BEN - Jim Louderhack (uncerimoniously dismissed editor of PCWorld) took his parting shot;"So why, nine months after launch, am I so frustrated? The litany of what doesn't work and what still frustrates me stretches on endlessly."
SOCRATES - James Shallows (Poorly attried National Correspondent for The Atlantic Monthly) says he is going back to XP;
"...I said that users should wait to buy new computers until the new version of Windows, Vista, was available -- and that "of course" they should buy Vista-equipped machines once they could. That was wrong. I apologize."
My response, in the words of imortal Willard himself;
"You're trying to take my house. You made a fool of me in front of everybody. You made me hate myself. I thought about it a lot, hating myself. Well right now, at this moment, I LIKE myself."
To the Microsoft faithful I say, to the forums, man you blogs, "Tear 'em up! muahahahahaha"

Of Course, Jim Louderback forbore to warn his readers about Vista until doing do could no longer damage PCWorld's ad revenue for him. There seems to be a wider lesson about the advice from tech sites in there somewhere.
But at least he's spilt the beans now. He's not alone in having reservations about Vista, of course. Here's Chris Pirillo:

The only person I can think who actually seems to like the OS is Paul Thurrott.
Didn't Willard get eaten at the end?
