Looks like I’m going to be working a Utilikilts booth at an event called “PantheaCon” in San Jose this month.

And you know, I’m still trying to figure out what the hell PantheaCon is all about. If you have some idea, hip me to it.

It’s a four day event; I don’t yet know which days I’ll be there working, I’m still figuring that out. But if you’re going, talk to me, we’ll meet up at some point (Though I somewhat doubt that anyone who reads my blog is going to this event. I could be wrong, but my gut tells me that’s not my usual audience.)

More details as I get them.

Here, then, is my big obvious question: Why the hell do people put up with this? Why is there not some massive revolt, some huge insurrection against Microsoft? Why is there not a huge contingent of furious users stomping up to Seattle with torches and scythes and crowbars, demanding the Windows Frankenstein monster be sacrificed at the altar of decent functionality and an elegant user interface?

I don’t know. If I knew, I could fix it.
