    The MS Product Manager for Vista is named "Nice White".

    Let me rephrase this: the ugliest, most user-unfriendly OS out there is managed by a guy named "Nice".

    Bada-Bing! Thank you, I'll be here all week. Feel free to mod me down, now.

    Even though they pulled out, infections were inevitable.

    I couldn't visit the website in your sig to find out what your beef is, but I thought you might want to know that it's the electoral college. I assume that you're also against affirmative action for non-rednecks.

    We're trying to bash Microsoft here. Stop being so damned reasonable!

    I'm sorry. My bad.

    Vista is teh sux0rz! I've never used it, but it's the worst piece of sh*t OS I've never used! My brother's cousin's nephew's boyfriend installed Vista SP2 three months ago and it blew up his computer and killed everyone on the block! And Bill Gates eats puppies!
