Comments on: Microsoft gears up for annual hardware shindig

At WinHEC, the software maker will look to maximize Vista's release and rev up for Longhorn Server and Home Server, both due later this year.

Steve Ballmer - Please Step Down

Microsoft would do much better if they would simply pay off Ballmer to 1) step down 2) keep quiet. I really have nothing against Microsoft, but every time that I hear Ballmer speak, it makes me think ill of Microsoft - He really needs to go.

MS needs a warm fuzzy feel, and Ballmer doesn't have it. Ballmer's latest comments regarding supposed opensource patent violations simply make me more inclined to pursue opensource options for my company. I feel the same way about Microsoft as I do about the IRS - which is terrible, considering that MS relies on "Customers".

yep, I feel the same way

Terrible way to think and act, who needs to put up with that. EVerytime I meet with a Microsoft employee, they are so high strung, that it's impossible to even talk to them, they give me the bumps. I don't even feel comfortable doing talking to them, let alone do business with them, and I don't. Go back to school and learn about Ethics and then call me later.

Vista a success when it comes to...

Artificialy inflated numbers of their success and hiding the fact that Vista is still about a year from completion.

This is not bashing, trolling or anything like that.

It will take nearly a year before most of the bugs are out of the system and for software vendors to adopt the proprietary 'universal' formats of MS.
