Personally I wouldn't be surprised if Win7 turns out to be another dud
I have a feeling that Microsoft is pulling the same type of crap that they did with Windows Me. Remember Windows Me? That piece of shit OS that crashed every half hour and refused to shut down? They only released that hastily-written OS because it was taking so long to develop XP.
I honestly believe that's what they did with Vista. It's simply an interstitial to Windows 7 because Win7 is taking so fucking long. They also wanted to test features, etc, on their entire customer base using "stable releases" rather than public betas, because who in their right mind would run an unstable operating system when they have serious work to do, am I right?
And all this for something that does jack-all to contribute to our national security That is where you're wrong. We are currently fighting a war which could damn well be taking place on our soil, but it's not. The Muslim extremists could be sending more of their terrorists (and maybe even REAL soldiers) our way to fight a battle that would kill many more Americans than what's going on right now. See, their target is the entirety of America. If they were to bring firepower to America, then they would kill anybody in their path. We are over there killing those that would otherwise be killing us. We don't target unarmed civilians (except for some assholes in the Army that just want to kill people).
One more point I have to make. 4,095 Americans have died for us. 50,000 others have been injured for us. Not a single one of them was forced to do so. We held no drafts of any sort for the Iraq War. All soldiers currently in the US Armed Forces are in it on their own accord.
it sure wasn't Iraq, or Iran! You're right... it WASN'T Iraq or Iran. IT WAS AFGHANISTAN. Nice job making yourself look like a complete and utter dumbass talking about something you obviously know nothing about.
Also, that whole conspiracy bullshit that a lot of people tend to believe is just crap. O FUCK A 5 DOLLAR BILL CAN BE FOLDED TO LOOK LIKE THE TWO TOWERS BURNING DOWN THAT MEANS THE PENTAGON BOMBED THE WORLD TRADE CENTER. Whenever I hear that shtick, I just fucking lol. You people are completely oblivious to what really goes on in the world.
On to a different, though related, subject, I would like to add that the death of 4,095 American soldiers is nothing. That is OVER 5 YEARS that the Iraq War has been going on (800 casualties per year). I'd say that's pretty damn good considering Al-Qaeda (no, Briden, not the Pentagon) killed just under 3,000 people in ONE DAY. 60,000 Americans died in the 15 years of the Vietnam War (3000 casualties per year). And what about World War II, during which over 416,000 people died during the ~7 years that war lasted. That's almost 60,000 casualties per year. I think we've done fairly well with the Iraq War, and people need to get your heads out of your asses and realize that.
