Trouble in Vista Paradise?
I hate to say it, but I told you so...
The following is an excerpt from a purported Microsoft developer. If in fact this is all true, this certainly paints a very unflattering and bleak future for the forthcoming Windows Vista Operating System platform. Touted as the " largest software project in mankind’s history now threatens to also be the longest". Vista has had more false starts than a Nascar drive on crack cocaine.
I predicted Vista will be a turkey and this only goes to further bolster my claims. If you are smart, you will run far far away from Vista.
"Ask any developer in Windows why Vista is plagued by delays, and they'll say that the code is way too complicated, and that the pace of coding has been tremendously slowed down by overbearing process. These claims have already been covered in other popular literature. A quick recap for those of you just joining the broadcast:
Windows code is too complicated. It's not the components themselves, it's their interdependencies. An architectural diagram of Windows would suggest there are more than 50 dependency layers (never mind that there also exist circular dependencies). After working in Windows for five years, you understand only, say, two of them. Add to this the fact that building Windows on a dual-proc dev box takes nearly 24 hours, and you'll be slow enough to drive Miss Daisy.
Windows process has gone thermonuclear. Imagine each little email you send asking someone else to fill out a spreadsheet, comment on a report, sign off on a decision -- is a little neutron shooting about in space. Your innocent-seeming little neutron now causes your heretofore mostly-harmless neighbors to release neutrons of their own. Now imagine there are 9000 of you, all jammed into a tight little space called Redmond. It's Windows Gone Thermonuclear, a phenomenon by which process engenders further process, eventually becoming a self-sustaining buzz of fervent destructive activity."
