Beware the "certain element"

Kevin Kutz, a director in Microsoft's Windows Client unit. "We would describe this as accommodating a certain element who needs more time.

Love that comment - a "certain element" makes it sound like anyone who hasn't moved to Vista yet is remedial or a subversive...a certain unruly element - that thinks it can make its own decisions!!!

The interesting thing is that no one is talking about Vista at all really - usually with a new piece of tech - my friends - knowing I work in tech - will ask my opinion but no one is interested. What's more - I am not interested! It's a whole new Microsoft OS but I am not bothered about seeing it to be honest. I'm writing this via OSX at home I from what I have seen of Vista, Microsoft doesn't have anything to rival Front Row or the other brilliant features of OSX...and we haven't even see Leapord yet.
