Microsoft Gets Dis'd By The Industry

Posted by Renee Oricchio at 9:00 AM

I swear it's not pick-on-Microsoft week. So far, it's just working out that way (but it's only Tuesday!).

But this little tidbit bears repeating. Since launching earlier this year, there has been no shortage of negative reviews and feedback concerning Windows Vista. Bloated, too many security pop-ups, difficult to install.. and those are the nice comments (ba-dum-dum).

Add to the list Gianfranco Lanci, President of Acer, the fourth largest PC vendor in the world. In an interview with The Financial Times Deutschland, Lanci said about Vista:

The entire industry is disappointed by Vista. I really don't think someone has bought a new PC specifically for Vista. Stability is certainly a problem.

Don't sugarcoat it, Mr. Lanci!

I wonder if he's heard Microsoft's latest announcement that the first Vista Service Pack won't be available until later this year and then only in beta.
