Our DVD are under no obligation to respect region boundaries, its ruled unconstitutional or something.
Maybe it has something to do with brand loyalty. People know the MS stuff will get better so they just buy it, deal with the short commings and wait for the next version to come out.

That just shows Cringley's ignorance of how Microsoft functions. Microsoft routinely kills off bad projects,usually before they even make it out to the public..
Really, I was praising MS's ability to know when to keep a bad project going. You would laugh MS out of the tech community if they droped Windows, DOS and MS C++ after their first releases.

If you look really carefully, you will see an engagement ring on her finger.
