You may have heard that Vista SP1 is coming / has come / will destroy you / devour small animals / capture all of your bases. There’s some more news that installing it will likely render even *MORE* programs unusable.

Well, if you could see me now, my eyes have rolled so far back into my head that I am actually seeing my own ear wax (which isn’t that difficult, as I have a prodigious amount, according to unconfirmed sources).

And that groaning that you’re hearing isn’t the enormous effort its taking for my eyes to do this anatomically impossible task.

Nay, its the frustration I am feeling with Microsoft.

I ranted once about Vista, and at the time, my biggest beef were the software incompatibilities. Looks like with this major update, I can look to even *more* of the same problems are likely to incur, and there is a short list over here.

Of course, what Microsoft doesn’t know, is what it cannot know, which is how many *other* programs also break with this new update, which we will of course find out in due course.

Of which I will *not* be party to, because I, for one, probably won’t be downloading SP1 if I can help it in the near future (and that doesn’t even include the “other” problems — like corrupting your hard drive — which have in fact, delayed SP1 from being deployed in a wide enough scale).

But whenever it will be, it’ll definitely be after I figure out how to get my damn eyeballs to stop staring at my ear wax.
