Robert Love has a nice post here talking about some technical internals about why this happens. Wow guys. Just… Wow. I have only a rudimentary knowledge of low-level kernel internals and even I can see that this work around was a stupid idea. If Vista and Longhorn are as closely related as MS claims, it really makes you wonder what sort of crap ideas businesses are going to be hanging their hats on in the relatively near future. Who knows though, maybe all this Vista hilarity will make people more reluctant to adopt Longhorn?

Speaking of Vista hilarity, this eWeek slideshow underscores a lot of the issues it has. The fixes they propose are nearly as laughable as the scheduling workaround that the multimedia team at MS came up with for their scheduling issue.

Furthermore, there is no way that I can see to make a post directly from my blog page. What the hell man? You don’t remember me, and then you force me to go to the main blogger page to login and post? How freaking lame!!! It makes perfect sense for me to come to _my_ page and post _here_. It makes very _little_ sense for me to have to go to some “dashboard” page to do that. Sure, make the feature available there, but it’s more important for it to be _here_. If there is a way to do it but it’s so non-obvious that I haven’t found it, that’s almost worse than just leaving the feature out…
