I found this article on slashdot Passing the Torch by PC Magazine editor-in-chief Jim Louderback. He’s frustrated with Windows Vista, and he’s quitting his job, apparently in relation to this frustration with Microsoft:

The upshot is that even after nine months, Vista just ain’t cutting it. I definitely gave Microsoft too much of a free pass on this operating system: I expected it to get the kinks worked out more quickly. Boy, was I fooled! If Microsoft can’t get Vista working, I might just do the unthinkable: I might move to Linux.

It puts my complains about macs into perspective.

yeah, I heard Vista sucks. I still have the old operating system and won't upgrade until I get a new computer. IMO, Windows 3.1 was the best it will ever get. It was all downhill from there.

DOS 3.2.1 was the apogee to me. 3.1 was what made me switch to a mac. Though NeXt ruled always.
