I (MCT, CNI, CCIE, RHCA you get the picture), sat down this evening with my MacBook Pro. I decided to boot up my clean, updated, install of Vista with Office 2007 and proceed to work on and amend a word doc someone had sent me.

Word crashed every time I opened it, then proceeded to plaster "Windows is searching for a solution to the problem", and "Word is crashing repeatedly" messages all over the screen. After 2 reboots it opened cleanly, then imploded 10 minutes down the line. Despite it assuring me it was autosaving, nothing in the temp directories. Fucкing garbage.

I rebooted to OSX, opened a terminal window and typed sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda3 then worked with no further disturbance on said document using the free (and excellent) NeoOffice whilst the infinitely superior Unix operating system quietly obliterated the bug-riddled, hack-job pile of Micro$oft wank that the unenlightened would describe as an operating system.

I'm ashamed to be an MCSA, MCSA, MCT etc etc... Vista is a sack of ****.
