The What What Journal?

Most people I've talked to realize what perfection Windows Vista has achieved, but there are some cranks out there that insist they know better than Microsoft. Here's one guy, Walter Mossberg:

It has taken the giant software maker more than five years to replace Windows XP with this new version, called Windows Vista – an eternity by computer-industry reckoning. Many of the boldest plans for Vista were discarded in that lengthy process . What’s left is a worthy, but largely unexciting, product.

No, I've never heard of Mossberg, either. He must be some young pup just getting his start. He writes for some paper called the "Wall Street Journal."

Hey, Walter! Most papers cover more than just one street. Whole cities, most of them, like the Chicago Tribune, for instance. Some papers cover whole states, like the New York Times, or even whole countries, like the best example of fine journalism in the world, USA Today. If you have any doubt that USA Today is the best, ask yourself this question: how many newspapers are good enough to have Larry King write for them?

Anyway, I suppose if young Mossberg works hard and, more importantly, gets a clue about the greatness that is Windows Vista, he just might have a future in the newspaper biz.
