Just caught this from Chris… whoa is right.
Sorry, I… I gave Vista a real chance. I just can’t use it as my primary OS anymore. It’s NOT horrible at its core (by any stretch of the imagination). If all of your hardware and software are fully baked, you’re good to go – but that’s not the world I live in. I will continue to recommend Windows Vista for some users, mind you. I wish I could take the best parts of Vista and bring them back with me to XP. I’m still more than willing to help Microsoft improve Windows and get the message out to users, but I simply can’t sacrifice my own time and productivity without benefits in clear sight. I’m begging Microsoft and all of my hardware and software vendors to make Windows better for me. Until then…
The Whoa starts now. [Chris Pirillo]
Pirillo is a major windows advocate and has a very loyal following of listeners. This is not good for Redmond and while it’s not going to stop people from getting to Vista (particularly with a new PC) it’s likely to create pause.
Chris was quite vocal with bugs and issues he’d found and direct with fixes that needed to be addressed during the open beta. He’s far from satisfied with the progress that’s been made to date and going back to XP for now.

He’ll change his mind when Second Life requires Vista. 😉
Does Pirillo dual boot Ubuntu Linux and XP? If not, why not? Ubuntu doesn’t require a gig of RAM.
I’m running Vista in Parallels and am about to get Ubuntu running as well … thanks to OSX and Virtualization
