I don't know what world Linus is living in, but technical superiority is certainly not the most important thing in the world I live in. Technical superiority trails marketing, public relations as well as first impressions.
Now DefectivebyDesign.org has a real catchy name and it sticks in your head. That's a winner. But BadVista.org? Bo-ring! Dullsville. It's a loser. And like "Bad Santa", it implies that there's really a "Good Vista". Is that what we're supposed to think?

Is this about free software? Posted Dec 17, 2006 11:55 UTC (Sun) by oak (subscriber, #2786) [Link] What about "VisionLessVista"? All the "new&cool" stuff in Vistais plagiated from Mac OSX. Or "DReaMVista.nightmare" and logo of a consumer's heart (shaped MP3 player) with DRM stake driven through it?
Is this about free software? Posted Dec 18, 2006 3:32 UTC (Mon) by jimmybgood (guest, #26142) [Link] They should have picked, RestrictedVista.org or possibly ObstructedVista.org. After all, it's RS who refers to DRM as digital restrictions management, isn't it?ObstructedVista makes more sense, but I like the sound of RestrictedVista better.
Is this about free software? Posted Dec 18, 2006 21:25 UTC (Mon) by proski (subscriber, #104) [Link] I'd go for VistaSux.org. And while at that, somebody make ZuneSux.org as well. Because iPod rulez!
