MacNN caught this incredible defection and loss of faith by a former Vista 
booster, PC Magazine editor-in-chief Jim Louderback, as he steps down from 
his position. "I've been a big proponent of the new OS over the past few 
months, even going so far as loading it onto most of my computers and 
spending hours tweaking and optimizing it. So why, nine months after launch, 
am I so frustrated? The litany of what doesn't work and what still frustrates 
me stretches on endlessly. The upshot is that even after nine months, Vista 
just ain't cutting it. I definitely gave Microsoft too much of a free pass on 
this operating system: I expected it to get the kinks worked out more 
quickly. Boy, was I fooled! If Microsoft can't get Vista working, I might 
just do the unthinkable: I might move to Linux."
