Mary Jo Foley: “If you’re Microsoft — especially a member of the Vista team — there’s no way you can help but gloat. Very few Softies or their loyal followers are gloating publicly. But there’s no way they aren’t enjoying this turning of the tables.”
Now this is just ridiculous. Softies are gloating because Leopard is as buggy as Vista, if not worse?
