Is Vista a failure?

I am getting sick and tired of reading about how failure Vista is. Vista being late is one thing, but stating that Vista is failure and XP is better, is totally wrong. I have Vista running on four of PCs running in my house and all are running very well. And no I don't have the latest hardware on all four of my PCs

This notion that Microsoft talking about Windows7 indicates Vista failure is also wrong. Microsoft have indicated regardless how success the current OS is that they will have a two year release cycle.

In all these reports that talk about how bad Vista is, never mention any specifics why Vista is a failure. It seems that picking on Vista without providing any details is becoming a popular trend

I love the Mapping Application multi-touch experience, and the piano part is amazing.

iPhone Arabic support is available now

I just installed it and it appears to be working better than the previous one. The good news it is currently provided for free from iphoneislam. From reading Tariq's blog this will be only available for free for only one month period. So I suggest you install it ASAP.

Dubai skyline

Forwarded from a friend:
========================================================

An amazing view on one of Dubai 's city skylines.
This picture was not taken from an airplane, but from the world's tallest building:
Burj Dubai @ 2,620 ft / 801m!!!
===================================================================
I drove by Dubai Tower last week at night and definitely it can not be missed from a far distant. Driving through Dubai after four years of leaving was a shocking experience. Starting from the under development Dubai Metro system , The Emirates Mall with the in-door ski, to the massive development along Sheikh Zayed Road.
