  1. Re:Here comes the bashing... by johannesg · · Score: 5, Funny
    Instead of discussing the technology (which is actually pretty cool...they do have smart engineers at Microsoft), I have a feeling this will be a bunch of +5 Funny Microsoft-bash posts. One third referencing some obscure GUI from the past where something almost like this has been done already, another third referencing some future project not released yet doing the same, and the rest a bunch of +5 Funny "jokes" rehashing old Microsoft jokes from the last eight years...

    ...and one idiot who thinks he can stave off all that by posting his insanely smart prediction about it.

  2. Reaon for Longhorn delay by bstadil · · Score: 4, Funny
    .NET is garbage-collected,

    I guess this is why Longhorn keeps on slipping. Maybe they should let a little code slip through so as not to jeopardize the Duke Nukem Forever bundling agreement.

    Just in case it may work on my mac ;-)

    It probably won't work on Windows either ;)
