Windows Vista

Reading ms_danson's LJ, I found a link to a wonderful bit of allegory entitled So Beautiful, So Disturbing.

It starts:

I wake. For a moment, I stare at the ceiling trying to remember something. Something important. Something important happened last night, but the details escape me. Something fascinating yet sinister, like touring the CIA offices. Something exotic yet somehow familiar, like putting hot sauce on meatloaf. I wonder if I have a hangover. I wonder why I am thinking about the CIA and meatloaf. I roll onto my side.

There is a strange woman in bed with me.

I commend it to your attention. I have not used Windows Vista, but I really think I have had experiences close to what is described - and merely not known to describe them that way.
