File This Under Uh Oh.

Microsoft launches their new Windows Vista operating system today – along with spanking new versions of Microsoft Office programs including Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.

Bossy hates change. She hates it worse than walking in the front door and discovering her votive centerpiece has been moved three inches to the left. So imagine Bossy’s mood when she’s forced to navigate the new tabbed Ribbon toolbar.

Others embrace change. Overnight in Tokyo hundreds of people stood in line to be among the first to own Vista. Thirty three-year old Fumihiko Koyama was one such person. “????????,” he said. “??????????.”

Other reviews weren’t so kind. Like this one and this one.

Of course Bill Gates doesn’t agree with the critics and defends his product’s overhaul. Speaking of which, isn’t it time Bill Gates applied a little of that forward thinking to his own look?
