CNet in the UK has listed Microsoft Windows Vista amongst the 10 worst technology products of all time.
I know I’m biased for having jumped ship years ago to OS X and Unix land, but ouch! Even Microsoft Bob didn’t make their list.
It seems to someone needed to sit the folks at Microsoft a long while ago and play that scene in (the original) Star Wars where Grand Moff Tarkin tells Princess Leia that no one will dare oppose the rule of the emperor and she defiantly replies “The more you tighten your grip, Tarkin, the more star systems will slip through your fingers.”
This is what happens when marketing and bean counters design a product rather then doing right by your customers.
Granted Apple isn’t always a sterling example either, but they do a lot better then Microsoft has.
BTW: What is a “Grand Moff” anyway?
