Why is Windows slow? and a letter to Sally
There’s an interesting article roaming around the interwebz these days regarding the performance of Windows, and why you don’t actually see the improvements (that may be spectacular at times) from the open source world. It’s an interesting comment, worth reading for any developer. But the most interesting thing about it is not about the specifics of the disgruntle of the writer. I am certain he doesn’t really feel that way, but, caught in the moment, he spurted all those things (as a matter of fact, he retracted the harshness of some of his statements in a later comment, included in the article itself).
