Tom's Overly Detailed Vista Review

prostoalex writes "The weekend is here, and several software sites have published extensive reviews of Windows Vista for your reading enjoyment. Tom's Hardware is running a 500 hour Windows Vista review that spreads out 40 pages." From the article: "This new operating system is huge: it has more than 37,800 files, taking up a total of 10 GB. Part of this size stems from the fact that the current Beta is for the so-called "Ultimate Edition", which contains all available components, including complete versions of both Tablet PC and Media Center capabilities. In addition, many applications have been compiled in debug mode, so some space savings should occur for final versions once that debug switch is turned off. For our Windows Vista preview, we used Build 5381."

The 3rd Prostoalex Submission Today

[Anonymous Coward]

Seriously, this is getting out of hand. He's already had 2 articles today, every one of them linking to a different site of his. Did Slashdot's contract with Roland expire or something? This guy is clearly using Slashdot to pad his various semi-scammy sites. Something smells rotten here(and it's not RMS without a shower...).

Re:I TOLD them it was a dupe!

Perhaps /. needs to implement a "DUPE" link that's accessible to subscribers. Have it function like Digg, totaling the number of DUPE clicks each article receives.

Then, allow subscribers to set a DUPE filter limit. Anything over that limit is not displayed on the page.

(Also, I've always wanted to use this in a post.)
