This is fascinating! From the outside (Enterprise customer point of view) Vista seemed like a debacle and we never rolled it out to anyone. I am looking forward to read the next chapter.

N.B. After learning about your Office Hours blog, I better understand how you are cranking out these detailed history essays so often. I do hope you will turn this into a book at some future date.
