Ouch!

That’s gotta hurt:

Windows Vista is Windows ME
Part 2. It took five years to develop because three of those were spent
building a brand new code base that didn’t work at all and wound up
getting scrapped, and the remaining two were spent just tweaking the XP
code base. Almost all the features we were promised early on were
discarded and what we end up with is a warmed over Windows XP that
doesn’t even do us the dignity of working properly out of the box. I
think it’s particularly telling that they’ve already announced the next
major Windows release for late 2009.
