TFA is usually slashdoted before most people can read [it]
Yeah... great idea Taco... give subscribers the site first...
<rant>
Now the site gets a mini slashdotting, and either dies outright, or the admins kill it to avoid the future slashdotting.
Now the normal people who wont pay don't get to see 'TFA'. That doesn't generate more subscription revenue, it generates far fewer readers of/. in the first place.
But, no! Taco swears that non-subscribers still get all the functionality they had before the subscription system.
All the functionality my ass, now you just tell us about the articles, and let us use our imagination (which, of course, years of video games have killed).
At least before subscribers could 'see the future', the rest of us actualy had a chance (albeit a small one) to see the fucking article. Now there is none at all.

With the windows kernel change, there was also a significant change from Win9x to XP
True, but you can't include 9x in your argument.
The Windows XP kernel is based off of the Windows NT4 kernel.
The Win98 kernel (also the basis of the ME kernel) is based off of the Win95 kernel.
Think of it this way, 2.6 is based (very loosely, albeit) on the 2.4 kernel, (2.2 kernel, etc.. to Linux-0.x).
Your comparison of the W2K kernel to the W98 kernel is like comparing the Linux kernel to the SCO kernel.
No matter how much FUD SCO publishes toward the contrary, the Linux kernel does not use the same codebase of their Unix(tm) kernel.
I merely use SCO as a reference because that's all everyone talks about, and almost everyone wanes incessantly about how Linux is not SCO, so I figured you could understand it this way.

You don't fight America or Russia, because you will lose. You get America and Russia to fight each other, then take out whatever's left of the 'winner'...
No; IANAL means you are an ass... not just talking out of one...

humans consume liquid with the top orifice, not the bottom one.
However, much of the time they speak out of the bottom one...
Today, you can lead the revolution! Speak out of your top orifice for once...

Q: Do you own a computer?
A: Yes
Q: IBM or Dell
