Amazon, be carefull and watch too close what this guy will do or will not, besause did bad things at mafiasoft

rats jumping the ship

This does seem to be a bad sign for Vista. After all, you'd think if it was something Valentine was proud to be a part of, he'd stick around.

getting out while the getting is good

very telling

Any relation to Billy Ray? "Looking good, Brian!" "Feeling good, Jeff!"

"Amazon, be carefull and watch too close what this guy will do or will not, besause did bad things at mafiasoft"-

but maybe not entirely his doing.


"rats jumping the ship"

Maybe. And maybe good employees who can't stomach keeping the front up, that Vista isn't getting worse and worse.

So, maybe better taken as a sign to decide exactly when to start shorting MS.

don't let the chair hit you on the way out

Funny ass graphic, MDN!!!

"Microsloth remains on track to release something"


Two hundred million cubic metric tons of sewer gas? Or Ballmer could just light a match when he's done.

Good one, Ampar!

If Ballmer did that , the resulting expplosion would be the end of Microsoft and most of the surrounding land mass. Talk about a new Vista to the landscape...

You've done a heckuva job, Valentine.

"If Ballmer did that, the resulting explosion would be the end of Microsoft and most of the surrounding land mass. Talk about a new Vista to the landscape..."

Ballmer scratches his head. Then, with Crayon in fist slowly strikes through the "light a match afterwards" idea from his innovations list. Four hours of low grunting follows.

MDN... your take is very very funny

This needs to go in the "Best of MDN Takes Ever" anthology.

There goes Amazon, forget it now trying to find a book

I think all of you have it all wrong. I think Mr. Valentine wants to start using one of the new Macs, and he's gotta get out to avoid persecution for do so.

I wonder how Valentine’s CV reads:

“Personally responsible for delaying the release of a major operating system upgrade for over 5 years while simultaneously scrapping over fifty-percent of system functionality and reducing overall security.”

Amazon hired this guy? Somebody’s gotta be nuts.

Hey, MDN, no throwing expensive Aeron chairs, OK? Makes me cringe to see something as elegant as a Mac (albeit for your butt) chucked around like that

Rats? The captain himself just jumped!

Microsoft said the Windows Vista project 'remains on track.'

Vista has been OFF its track since the day Longhorn plopped into existence.

So, going by MS, if Vista remains what it has been, YIKES. Or more aptly, moo.

Apple should release a Mac OS X test-drive for all those "Vista Ready" PCs.

A defector or a refugee, perhaps? Will more personnel make the gallant dash through the fields and across the border to escape the tyranny of Microsoft, the suffocatingly boorish presence of Ballmer, and the maniacal gaze of Gates?

Great - there goes my Amazon wish list, down the terlet like Vista. Why would a company hire anyone who has "worked on Vista development" on his/her resume? Quick and easy corporate or stock death comes to mind.

MDN magic word is "quality." There is too much that I could do with that one, especially when talking about Vista. But, I shan't go there.

BrooklynNYC,

"Why would a company hire anyone who has "worked on Vista development" on his/her resume?"

For the same reason people would/will conitnue to buy Windows - And when you figure that out let the rest of us know.

Ampar,

Christmas is coming up. I have my smoked salmon, white platforms, and DVD player primed.
