Since Vista is not Turing-complete, can we even consider it an OS?
I think to consider software an operating system, it should be required to prioritize the end user's instructions over the manufacturer's. Vista clearly does not do that... Did anyone realize that Media Center refuses to record NBC programs?
Plus, global DRM? WTF. A feature I don't want, can't turn off, and does nothing but slow the system down.
If you're wondering, I <3 my Ubuntu. New OSX is pretty slick too.
That said, what do we call Vista if it's not an OS? Applianceware? Hell if I know. Suggestions?
Something non-pejorative, in hopes that they'll call it something different in stores.
