Very informative. I finally divorced myself from Windows a couple months ago, but this would have been great information to have. I don't think the criticisms of Windows are particularly well-founded. To be honest, this seems like far less of a mess than any number of other parts of Windows (Win32 API comes to mind)

Some notes regarding the site itself: I like the use of the Win7 icons. The angled headings are fun. It looks nice, overall. Animated backgrounds are bad, please stop using them. Also, if my mouse is sitting in the side gutters of the page, I can't scroll with the scroll wheel - the mouse has to be in the middle of the page. That's irritating. It seems like you're trying to be too clever with the CSS. It's just a blog. The cheeky CSS antics get in the way of it being a good blog.
