I've been working for over a year now on Windows Vista. I've seen it transform from something completely unusable to a superbly stable and functional piece of machinery. It's exciting to do so much major work on something that will be used by so many people, and so forth and so on.
But after a year of using it practically every day, I'm tired of it. I know what all the features are, and I know all the cool hidden tricks to make it perform really well. I've gotten really intimate with all of the slick new technology under the hood—and all I can think about is what's coming next.
That's not to say that I won't be working hard from now until our ship date improving the product; in fact, I'm trying to pack as much quality into my DLL as I possibly can before the gates close on the source tree. But as for everything else? Well, it just seems like old news.
