Vista is so bad, that if Microsoft mailed out free copies to everyone (like AOL), 90% would hit the trash, and of the remaining 10%, maybe 1% would try it within a year.
Even die-hard Windows users know already had bad Vista is. The word is out on the street.
The other point of suing them is the publicity. As you noted, Windows users may never notice, so the bad publicity is to really put the hurt on their sales, so that they actually fix the problem.
Having not seen this drive, I will bet you zillions that the drive comes with a CD that you run on Windows.
Any product that comes with a CD to run on Windows is suspect by default.
What reason could a highly superior intelligent life form have to visit underveloped countries, err, planets?
Simple. Their star is getting close to dying, and they need to move
before it goes supernova.
So, they set out looking for another suitable star system, with a planet
that is in the right zone, and plant Space Life Forms on the planet to
condition it before their arrival. They send in periodic craft to check
on the conditions.
I used to find the bugs before they complained. They would invariably call while I was testing the code. Then I'd UUCP it to them. After hours of transfer at 2400 bps, they could try it out. While UUCP was going, I'd be working on the next bug. After a couple of weeks, I'd was ahead. After three months, they were happy!
It helps when you can work at night when there is no overhead (management) wasting your time.

You can't shine shit.
Soap.
Oh, nevermind
I think they want to. They were part of the management
rah-rah scheme to 'improve everywhere'.
This story was probably posted again on the theory
that Rogers costumers may have missed it.
The mods around here, a bunch of hosers, eh?

All it shows is that homo sapiens is easily distracted. .3 seconds, the homo sapiens mind

can not suppress thoughts of sex.
It's all part of the intelligent design.
The forum poster could also be his boss and also could be
the writer of the code in question.
So, it's possible there is no problem at all, but the
real answer is to contact the forum poster.
My tin foil hat tells me otherwise.
That is the theory most have heard.
Of course, it could be that the moon was moved into position
in order to make the planet more stable for future use.
Condition, meaning making the biosphere stable.
That is, the proper mix of atmospheric gases and
temperature. Dinosaurs and vegetation contributed
to that effort.

You are all Space Life Forms. The concept of an Alien is just
a form of discrimination, unless they are out to get you.
In that case, you could call them neo-cons.
Mod points is a minor problem. They fixed elections too.
Just cut off the whale porn, problem solved.
Steve, calm down. You can always buy more chairs.
The article is just FUD.
The hardware is not the problem.
High userid numbers. Probably never heard of Superman.
It will not have to be an Apple product.
Give me a day or two, and I'll try it out.

And since corporations don't go to jail,
there was really no excuse to not do what's right.
But, the money blinds them.
