Vista Indicates A Shift in Microsoft's Priorities

jcatcw writes "After hundreds of hours of testing Vista, Scot Finnie is supremely tired of it. And of Microsoft. Although 80% of the changes in Windows Vista are positive, there is nothing about Vista that is truly innovative or compelling; there's no transformational, gotta-have-it feature in Vista. But the real problem isn't with Vista. It's with Microsoft itself. His opinion is that Microsoft has stopped focusing on end users. They 'now seemingly make many decisions based on these two things: 1. Avoiding negative publicity (especially about security and software quality) 2. Making sure the largest enterprise customers are happy.'"

    disgust with payper liesense stock markup FraUD felonious greed/fear/ego based corepirate nazi hypenosys & glowbull warmongering life0cide.

    what a surprise? none too soon either.

    from previous post: many demand corepirate nazi execrable stop abusing US

    we the peepoles?

    how is it allowed? just like corn passing through a bird's butt eye gas.

    all they (the felonious nazi execrable) want is... everything. at what cost to US?

    for many of US, the only way out is up.

    don't forget, for each of the creators' innocents harmed (in any way) there is a debt that must/will be repaid by you/US as the perpetrators/minions of unprecedented evile will not be available after the big flash occurs.

    'vote' with (what's left in) yOUR wallet. help bring an end to unprecedented evile's manifestation through yOUR owned felonious corepirate nazi life0cidal glowbull warmongering execrable.

    some of US should consider ourselves very fortunate to be among those scheduled to survive after the big flash/implementation of the creators' wwwildly popular planet/population rescue initiative/mandate.

    it's right in the manual, 'world without end', etc....

    as we all ?know?, change is inevitable, & denying/ignoring gravity, logic, morality, etc..., is only possible, on a temporary basis.

    concern about the course of events that will occur should the corepirate nazi life0cidal execrable fail to be intervened upon is in order.

    'do not be dismayed' (also from the manual). however, it's ok/recommended, to not attempt to live under/accept, fauxking nazi felon greed/fear/ego based pr ?firm? scriptdead mindphuking hypenosys.

    consult with/trust in yOUR creators. providing more than enough of everything for everyone (without any distracting/spiritdead personal gain motives), whilst badtolling unprecedented evile, using an unlimited supply of newclear power, since/until forever. see you there?

    Who is screwing who? It is certainly debatable wether Apple is screwing Cisco or the other way around. Clearly the iPhone name came about because of speculation Apple might create a phone product. Apple should probably have reserved the rights to the name, it is almost too obvious their legal dept failed them. Cisco jumped on the chance to screw Apple! With all the free publicity why should they not take advantage of Apples failure? But it is clearly Cisco screwing Apple.
