This is the article that was the reference for the macmod blog post.

And indeed Mahjong is one of the 7 reasons given for not going back to XP.
And people with Home Basic don't even get Mahjong!

Headlines are meant to pull readers in, whether is it the National
Enquirer or the Wall Street Journal, and I noticed that you didn't argue
about the accuracy of the Headline, just that it was sensationalistic.

IOWs, it did exactly what a headline is supposed to do.

I don't know about you, but I think that some people (J Munro included)
should just stick with writing letters to Santa. I also think that marketing
depts should be scrapped and that people responsible for some of the
marketing hype should be gently led back to the ocean.

These people use the word 'Wow' when they should have used 'Whoa', call
things by dumb names, make ludicrous claims etc

Vista is just an OS, no more, no less. It has more security built in to it,
it looks better, it generally works better, it can recover itself better
than its predecessors.

I don't think that there should have been so many versions, and pricing is
way over the top, but having said that, there were five versions of XP..
Home, Pro, Volume, Media Center and 'pirated' :-). Computers and user
expectations are way beyond the 'one size fits all' DOS days, and so I do
sympathize to some degree with MS Marketing.

The industry as a whole is 'sales' crazy and will do and say almost anything
to upstage the competition in order to get a sale. OEM manufacturers and
retail outlets take full advantage of the fact that the buying majority are
in no way technical, in much the same way as the auto and construction
industries always have. It is like their is no integrity anymore, that it is
not required or is old fashioned.

To be honest, I put most of the blame onto the OEM because they sell
underpowered garbage and they know it but don't care as long as money
changes hands.

I agree.

Yes. Though if looks is important to an end user, they can always go
with WindowBlinds, instead of upgrade to Vista.

Not Explorer, and to me that is the most important OS interface with any
of my hardware.

It still hasn't eliminated the three-fingered salute. And then add in
the annoyance of UAC, which was meant to intentionally **** off end users
as a means to coerce software developers to code programs the way MS
mandates.

Unfortunately MS is complicit in all of this. We do have the emails that
prove MS conspired with Intel over the Vista-capable marketing con-job.
