Quite quote on Windows Vista

The following quote really sums Windows up for me. I like Windows, don't misundertand me, but I also like Linux and Mac OS. I like smaller OS footprints, and quicker boot up/run times. So Windows Vista is looking like a bit of a pig. Anyway, from the NYTimes:

Several thousand engineers have labored to build and test Windows Vista, a sprawling, complex software construction project with 50 million lines of code, or more than 40 percent larger than Windows XP.

"Windows is now so big and onerous because of the size of its code base, the size of its ecosystem and its insistence on compatibility with the legacy hardware and software, that it just slows everything down," observed David B. Yoffie, a professor at the Harvard Business School. "That's why a company like Apple has such an easier time of innovation.""
