We saw some interesting developer features of .NET 3.0 running on Vista tonight at the Vermont .NET Users Group. Workflow, Communication Foundation, Cardspace and Presentation Foundation. Pretty impressive, but I have to say that I am utterly and completely disinterested in all things Vista. There is nothing in Vista that I find compelling or that will improve the quality of my digital life. Don't bother me with it.
Because tonight was a Vista .NET 3.0 Launch Event, there were 5 Vista Business Edition DVDs raffled off. I wanted to win one to see what the room reaction would have been when I said I didn't want it. That would have been fun.
I've been giving serious thought to popping over to Small Dog Electronics on a weekday and spending some quality time playing with a Mac. I'm much more interested in buying a Mac than "experiencing Vista." I need to dump my Microsoft stock, too. I've been sitting on it for far too long.
I'm obviously in a sour Microsoft mood tonight.
