For those of you who have been following the thread about MOPH (a/k/a Vista, a/k/a My Own Personal Hell), you likely have read my posts about various Vista abominable tricks, the InfoWorld campaign to “Save XP,” and most recently the Guy Kawasaki interview of Microsoft CEO, Steve “The Ballbuster” Ballmer. Well, this morning, the unthinkable happened. In an interview with InfoWerld, Ballmer acknowledged publicly that “maybe Vista was kind of a mistake, but it’s not our first, not out worst and won’t be our last. With greatness comes occasional insanity and Vista, perhaps along with Microsoft Bob, wasn’t exactly our best effort. But we can assure our customers that the next version of Windows, which will be released this summer, months ahead of schedule, will finally let that “PC guy” kick that “Mac guy’s” ass once and for all. I hate that little f*&$ker and this will finally shut up his damned mouth.”

In Ballmer’s typically subtle way, he described, sans any “Monkey Boy” dance, that the forthcoming version of Windows will be called “Windux 2009,” will require only a Pentium III CPU to operate, with as little as 256 Mb of RAM, will startup instantly, will shut down instantly and will cost only $99 in both an upgrade and a new license edition – the only two available product versions. The only limitations described to date are general incompatibilities with Microsoft Office 2003 and 2007, although according to Ballmer, “it’s no big deal, we’ve got a guy coding 24 hours a day for two day stretches at a time and he assures me we’ll have it licked in time for the July 4th release.”
