Wow, they've finally realised you can't simply ship bad code and just patch, patch, patch


Maybe Vista will be a big improvement after all!!

Ummm. Why did they call it 'Vista'? Is it because when it crashes it you can be called 'Hasta La Vista'?

Yes very good article, just shows you even the big boys can get it wrong, mind you every company that releases 'off-the-shelf' software adds features which they 'think' people want, I would bet that most people only use 10% of the functionality of something like m$ word why they need to keep adding fluff and 101 bugs is beyond me.
