LOL, It's the title of the article. "They Criticized Vista. And They
Should Know" Should have been in "quotes" for the benefit of those who
fly-by post. The story is just more of what has already been said about
the class action suit and M$ internal emails.

Don't worry about Alias. He uses Ubuntu so he has no ability to think
straight.

When you assumed that the "experts" referred to was the New York Times.

What's worse, you based your assumption on Frank assuming the "experts"
were from the New York Times.

I didn't assume anything. All I stated was that (1) the NYT is not an
expert in anything (true) and (2) I don't read the NYT (also true).

Yes, I know. I'm not new here, but it has been awhile since my last post.
Sad to see the same trolls are STILL here.

Had you started a thread entitled "The NYT is not an expert on
anything", you would have a point. As it stands, you jumped into a
thread and assumed the experts Frank mistakenly was referring to was the
NYT. Had you and Frank read the article, you would know that the NYT was
not claiming to be experts on this and your comment would make no sense
in the context of the thread. Am I going too fast for you?

Again, I made no assumptions. I stated facts.

You are apparently going to fast for yourself. But keep trying - it is
amusing to watch.

What did it take 5 to 10 years to stabilize XP and all it's current and
various new hardware being sold at that time? I like Vista, it packs a punch,
however if the retail Vista SP1 ready and Microsoft is holding back due to
the technet thing , that would piss me off :/
