Hard, difficult times ahead for Microsoft — dump your stock now!!

Although I have been saying this stuff for years, it has finally come into sight of the press. Windows Vista has been a totally disappointing flop. Internet explorer has never adhered to web standards. Promises of stability back in 1995, that really didn’t happen until Windows 2000 shipped, and even then, it took several service packs – mostly SP4 – before any kind of stability was finally noticed. Security has been abysmal. It wasn’t until Vista shipped, that Microsoft finally understood that the user should not always run as the admin account. I could go on and on, but I feel like I have said this stuff so many times now, that they have become cliches. Technically, Microsoft has always been behind. They have just been better marketers than their competitors. Apple has finally put together a good marketing campaign, and really stands to gain some market share, especially when compared to Vista. OS X 10.5 (Leopard) has a much, much higher user satisfaction rating than Vista, and I am certainly one happy customer!
