Microsoft’s most enthusiastic double-edged sword, Vlad Mazek, is at it again. This time, he’s firing on Dell, along with Redmond, as only Vlad can:

Dear partners, please stand closer together so I can get you all in the same shot. No, thats not the camera I’m holding.

Just wanted to alert you to a few things that have been going on at Casa de Vlad in our 11 data centers…

The MVP’s munching black screens and reboots on Dell PowerEdge 800, 1800, 1425 servers, but only when they’re running Microsoft Windows 2003 SP1, Standard Edition. Vlad’s been forced to manually repair 200 systems with Windows Recovery Console.

You can see the steam rising.

In case you’re thinking of joining Vlad in a b*tchfest, forget it:

Comments closed, pings allowed. Believe me, I know what you’re going to say “Micro$oft security blows, switch to Linux, switch to Mac, switch to Amiga, Ballmer is evil, this wouldn’t have happened on an HP…” There, I saved you 20 minutes.

Spoken like a true Vlad.
