So, tomorrow, you'll post in any thread that I post in and start saying stuff, which is not relevant to the topic in hand? Good Lord.

I'd request you to stop assuming things. Assumptions don't work in the real world, fortunately.

tht satement is against the anti-MS lobby tht has developed over the years

No one needs to make any kind of "anti-MS" lobby in order to bring them down. They are doing it pretty good themselves...

After 5 years of development...chopping...changing and everything...they produce an OS that shows "complete crash" two days before its RTM? Didn't you post about it yourself?

When they are screwing everything up without any help then why would any "lobby" waste time and money on them anyways?

eddie, they are finding bugs & they are fixing them...what else do u want them to do to make it better

chopping features, well....yeah, even i would bash MS on this....bad management i would say, all the worthy features of Longhron are gone, WinFS, Vector based UI, & lots more will come later as service packs or standalone files, well, thats good but still they were the features to get vista for along with the others included. Patchguard is one of them, which they removed due to lawsuits, which were not even filed in US when both Symantec, Mcafee & Adobe are US companies

(maybe, cos it's multinational)

...to find the bugs *before* they were bubble wrapping the CDs? The whole operating system crashes 2 days before the release was going out to hardware manufacturers? and that too after 5 years of coding? This is not *finding* bugs...this is sheer dumb luck. Imagine manufacturers installing it on thousands of systems and then updating them even before they sell them

MS has been finding bugs in vista for a long time .... from around 1500 bugs theyhv squashed around 1000 -1100 and are wrking on the rest ....

So they were going to RTM an OS with at least 400 known bugs?

Thats the whole difference the people here especially windows fanboys need to know, the difference between close source and open source software and intensity with which they r made bugless! Neways bugged after 5 yrs of coding? ! I guess it will take another 2-3 yrs in which they'll release some service packs, so that people can really work on it without any hindrances.

Imagine manufacturers installing it on thousands of systems and then updating them even before they sell them

SO I guess the OS that wud be released officially wud be called "MS VISTA : Patched n updated".

bad management i would say, all the worthy features of Longhron are gone, WinFS, Vector based UI, & lots more will come later as service packs or standalone files

Hmmmm, So MS will release other body parts and spare parts in installments again! Neways when will it release it?? It seems ur expectations were thwarted again!

Is this going to be another Windows v/s Linux v/s Mac?
Then I am closing off this thread.
Does every thread have to be just about fanboyism?
