Summer might be winding down, but the Apple-focused blogosphere is as hot as ever. Mac bloggers didn't seem too worried over rumors that Dell is cooking up a music alliance intended to topple Apple, and Apple's PC-topping customer satisfaction index seemed obvious enough. MobileMe, on the other hand, got hammered again this week, and Apple even acknowledged that some iPods could spontaneously combust. Meanwhile, for some iPhone 3G owners, the only solution to their connectivity problems appears to be a class action lawsuit.

Everybody hates Vista...

Everyone hates Vista. But do they really know why? Because they a) want to whine and b) are unwilling to switch. Anyone remember all the hatred for XP? I do. Nobody wanted it. They wanted to keep using 98/2000/NT. Seriously, give me one honest-to-(insert deity here) reason to hate Vista. And before you jump the gun let me cover three key qualifiers for comments:

1. You have been to at least two of the site links from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft#Products and looked at them honestly.

2. You've been to http://www.mojaveexperiment.com/ and looked at the results.

3. You are open minded. Seriously, a lot of the hatred Vista gets is because everyone talks it down because every 'geek' they talk to is blathering on about something some other 'geek' told them that is, in my experience, wildly inaccurate.

So please, tell me, what is really so bad about Vista?
