Charlie Owen - Rational Thought From Ed Bott

[Kinda like the way that title rhymes. Anywho...]

I just love the way Ed Bott seems to be able to cut through all the hyperbole and bring some reality to the conversation. As usual, he is able to put the whole Windows Vista adoption rate into perspective. Check out his Slow start for Vista? So what else is new?

Totally agree. Most people don't like to be the first ones to try out a new product in case there are problems or until there's a more improved version (i.e. service pack).

Just look at OSX. It was riddled with problems when it first came out, but eventually the bugs were ironed out. Contrast that with Vista, and I don't think there are ANY problems. Perhaps the only thing "wrong" with it is that after 5 years of development and hype, it didn't reach many people's expectations. But eventually SP1 will come out with more features and more people and businesses will come around as they had in the past with other versions of Windows.
