....the only good that could come out of this is a scenario where microsoft buys "Second Death" and then, after wasting lots of time and money, scraps the whole thing.
I really just hope that the Danish government/towns/councils etc. don't waste money on the crap, like they did the first time.
I have always thought MS products are crap, and therefore any price over $0.00 is a rip-off.
Now they are proving the point: Microsoft is saying that their user are becoming too stupid (pronounced "stoopid") to put batteries the correct way in to their gadgets.
This means:
At least 1 more year until SP2 comes out, only then Vista can be comsidered "released" ! Before that it's a "public beta version"
The whole Internet is going to slow down as terrabytes of SP1 clog up the internet.
The sceptic in me assumes that this is microsofts attempt to increase the "Interoperability" of all the security bugs, etc., which now mostly plague windows, so they will function equally well in Linux.
In this way they level the playing field.... microsofts next quote:
"Linux is now proven to be just as insecure as windows, and we'll send every lawyer we employ after you if you suggest that it's out fault !!"
We all know that the first "official" release of Vista and the first service pack are still parts of Microsofts "public debuggin" process.
I shouldn't really expect any hardware manufacturer to take Vista seriously until Service Pack 2..... secretly known by Microsoft as "Offially Bebugged Vista"..... if is that "Offially Bebugger'ed Vista".

If "anyone" should be sued here it's Murdoch.... who is pretending that he has some sort of "claim" to the word sky.
One should sue Murdoch on behalf of all descendants of the Norse people... it would make quite a class action lawsuit !!
