Only because terribly written software was used to writing all over the place all the time. Vista only requires root for the same kind of things linux does.
The only other complaint was that it showed an inordinate amount of alerts for the same thing, file copying into protected folders, which was fixed in SP1. I'd still prefer the Vista SP0 4 dialogs to what Nautilus does (i.e, tell me to get fucked.)
As you are not Royalty I'm going to have to ask you to stop using the Royal 'we'. Especially as the article states that, as a Grandmother, Her Majesty should be perfectly capable of using it's 'clumsy' interface.
I know which version of Vista *you've* been using - none. That's why your comments are detached from reality.

The laughingstock of the poor trolls you picked as your attempt at something people would argue over???
A gay green powerranger covered in retarded shiny green armor? No wonder you posted as Anonymous Coward.
This is pretty much how console development has worked since the beginning of time. Since they're losing money on every console, and they only make a fraction of the games, it makes no sense unless they're making a profit from somewhere else. You're right, more popular games mean more console sales. Each console sale is a loss. That's why you have to pay to develop.
Your first point is a technicality - very few people use a DNS which is not provided by their ISP, and those who do are still vulnerable to a faked response.
Your second point is flawed as well, in that case it would be Microsoft who were hijacking NXDOMAIN rather than IE itself.
It's not about getting devices formatted with it, it's about getting platforms to support it. Will there be a Windows driver for btrfs? Can I put it on an external hard disk and actually be able to use it?

Does the issue of the extreme hostility to Microsoft across the FOSS community come up much when you're planning this sort of thing?
If it exists to exert and expand UN control, it's doing an utterly terrible job of it.
Incorrect. If you get modded down with all the force someone can muster, you're restricted to posting twice per day.
You misread "cryptic" as "cryptographic" and this is a sign of sexual frustration?
Actually, it does. Loads of wireless cards are capable of being put in AP mode, which is not the same as ad-hoc. This is not different.

I believe he's referring to how the "Apply" button will be off the bottom of the screen.
It must really suck for you that they haven't brought out a new Linux since 2.6 eh?
You can write Morrowind?!

sense of humour! This is a pretty big "fuck you" to the EU.

I think you'll find it's a lack of caring rather than snobbish refusal. Linux sounds better, ah well move on.
I agree, the rain does muddy the waters somewhat. Not to mention the flood of comments deriding it as such.
Surely more than... 9000?
Well then, it'll make a pleasant change from being lied to,
Tell that to Ubuntu?
he hardly mentions healthcare in the way the summary implies. He states that the pharma industry needs to get it's ass in gear, and that's about it.
No, that's not what they said at all. They said it's ignorant to assume either way.
That's all right then ;)

IE cannot "hijack" NXDOMAIN, because it's not an ISP.
