The new Vista UI, same as the old

Apparently the current Vista UI in 5270
is going to be the final look. I had really high hopes for MSFT and
truly believed (and even tried to convince my OSX loving friends) that
Vista would be revolutionary.

I can recall a certain Scoble post
which has kept me thinking that this cant be it, this cheesy upgrade of
the XP look is certainly not the real deal. Revolutionary has got to be
something Stardock cant mimic.

You expected Scoble to NOT hype up the new UI? I mean, he’s a nice guy and all. But that’s his whole JOB, hype, hype hype! The most radical change to the UI has been the new start button..errr…badge or whatever they are calling it. The other features, search, iPhoto…errr… WinPhoto are nice. But I’ve already got them with OS X.

I’m spending more and more time in OS X and less time in Windows AND enjoying it more.

Vista UI – Blah

    Sadly, at least $999 US.

    I also had to buy a lot of black t-shirts. Which increased the cost a bit.

    I’m a die hard microsoftie when it comes down to it. I love what they do for us developers with VS.NET, etc.

    But at the same time, I’ll be the first to tell you or anyone else that Mac OS/X is the only innovator in the OS field, today. Everybody wants to look like OS/X and have the userbase of Windows… including Windows.

    Microsoft will always be playing catch up to Mac on the OS innovation end. It’s the curse of the 5,000,000,000 pound gorrilla that they are. They have to support anyone and everyone, and they have to move it through the die-hard idiots that refuse to accept change (i.e. the end user) before it gets published. Apple on the other hand, can produce an ass kicking update to their OS in no time flat, because they own all the hardware specs, and OS/X users LOVE the constant innovation and updates.

    If only the Mac world had the same developer base as the Windows world… would be a much more innovative and competetive marketplace for all.
