Here’s an interesting article over at ExtremeTech about The Five Broken Promises of Windows Vista. Are you using Windows Vista? Do you feel it’s performed to your expectations based on what Microsoft promised before it came out? I sure don’t. And neither does Loyd Case. He believe that 5 key things MS promised are not even in Windows Vista at the moment: Font Compositing, Easier Networking, Faster Startup (booting), Improved Stability, and Longer time between Reboots. Read the article…….I also seem to remember Microsoft touting “RSS Everywhere” in Vista, and they had some meetings with Dave Winer (*pretty much the inventor of RSS) about it - but then I never saw ANYTHING more about it. In fact, other than the smidgen in IE7 - I really don’t see any operating level support anywhere for RSS at all. Then again, they scrapped their mini-MSSQL version file system as well I believe. You would think that in 5 years - they would have had plenty of time to get this all right. Thoughts? Please, comment now!
