Read further down; look for kaiwai's comment about moving to Vista (dumping his Mac the end of this year).
I wonder if somone could contact him and find out why.

Yeah, I saw that and started laughing. "I'm dumping my Mac." Ha! That is hilarious. He is likely English (note the spelling of realise) and the English are not easily explained.
Further down he goes into why. I believe his beef was with Finder and what he called (paraphrasing here) "patchwork of cobbled code." Not saying Finder is perfect (hey, I have my own serious problems with it), but man, to dump your Mac for spyware, etc.? Ouch, he must be temporarily insane.

Isn't Vista referred to in some quarters as "Windows 2010"?

If this were 3 years ago when Vista was supposed to have been released it would be pretty cool, but technology has come a LONG way in 3 years and Vista is now trailing both Linux and OS X and seems to be racing the wrong direction at that.

at the end of the year. Must be a "pressing need" to jump ship if the mac OS is SO horrible that he must bail, in 4 months...
