This is hardly moaning. In fact, what the hell has happened to slashdot when we have comments like yours modded up?!
So M$ has hidden some of the outrageous annoyances and can build an OS that stays up longer than Mac OS9 (har har. Lets not talk about boot times after install compared to months later). YOU'RE MISSING THE POINT! Microsoft either tries to buy or lock out innovation to gain market share by locking people into their proprietary rip offs of existing tech! They accept open standards through clenched teeth only when necessary. "Yay M$ has learned from their mistakes", meaning the refusal of corporate america to accept the Vista hog has cost them a lot and general opinion of the company is in the toilet.
This is not a matter of who can make a solid OS, it's a religious war of ethics and the future of computing. Get a clue. I hope your.pst corrupts.
hopefully most people won't have the same opinion as you. people that really enjoy listening to music all the time (home or car) would probably be really into this (i would). sat-radio would be a great shakup to the sh*tty commercial radio corps out there. i think many people would rather pay $10/mo for a ton of music rather than pay $40/mo for crappy cable tv. this also could be great way to open up the music industry and give more artists airtime. this could be the equivilant (well maybe not quite) of college radio but distributed to the masses who aren't living in a city.
