Undoubtedly fair comment. I don't think I've listened to one before,
althoug I guess the LUG Radio counts, in which case I've listened to one
- although I pretty much tuned out as they were rambling on about life
recorders and I got bored. I must head back and see if another episode
has a more interesting subject!
This one caught my interest, firstly as I didn't spot it was a podcast
until I was there, and secondly because I've never heard of a Windows
(Vista or otherwise) zealot. Linux and Mac yes, and some people will
defend their choice of Windows to the hilt almost appearing to be trying
to justify why they've made such a poor choice, but not a zealot. I
didn't think Windows people got that way except in self defense. Perhaps
those that choose Vista feel so much out on a limb they have to
compensate - after all Micrsoft has even back tracked to allow people to
buy Vista and downgrade it so they actually install XP. I've not yet
actually met anyone who likes it, but then I've not yet met more than a
handful of people that have even tried it, or have the hardware capable
of running it properly!
