Vista is the Titanic and it's going down. The iceberg? As Balmer might say, ” Security. Security. Security. Security. Security. Security. Security…”.

Yes, we know Mac security isn't magically fool proof, but what are you comparing it to? How do you respond to your users when they come in and tell you their HOME PC (The one they didn't know how to or care to protect.) is trashed. That has got to be a bummer, expecially if it's the CEO or his reports.

True Story: In my last job, we assigned a $100,000/yr level 3 administrator to take care of the CEOs HOME PCs! He had to leave work and visit the guy's home! He quit within 2 months. What's right about that?

You see where this is going? PCs are road kill. Sorry, but it's true.

Of course, msft could get it's old mojo on and, get off the mat, and make a surprise comeback. If so, we'd all celebrate!
