Microsoft does make some very cool products. The negative public image that they have become associated with is mostly the cause of people spreading fear, uncertainty, and doubt (FUD). I'm not saying that Vista doesn't have its problems, because it does.. tons of them. No OS is perfect, but with Microsoft holding the majority of the OS market, they are bound to get the short end of the stick. I would love to see Microsoft drop the Windows name and start with something completely new, but I don't see them dropping that Windows code base anytime soon. You’re exactly right Jonathan.
