Most businesses won't buy Vista boxes until it's a bit more mature. Most consumers won't buy Vista boxes until their old box breaks. Why would you expect Vista to increase PC sales? Really, you'd expect it to decrease sales, because the price is higher than XP.
Bill Gates' programming has nothing to do with how good Windows is. I don't think any of his code has been included in a released product since 1989 at the latest.
They don't even realise that Functional Programming exists, let alone what it is, what it's benefits are etc.

I have a lazy evaluated sig... I'm too lazy to evaluate it
sig:: String

DysFunctional Programming has practical benefits? I thought it was only useful for lazy-evaluated sigs.
And why is it, they have no trouble delivering a constant 24hr stream of television and have been doing it forever, but now that it's digitized and over the internet suddenly it is far too much bandwidth to handle?? I think they're greedy SOBs and totally full of shit...
It's because they can't be stuffed getting multicast to work, so their bandwidth usage is proportional to the audience size multiplied by the size of the content, rather than just the size of the content.
If they do use multicast and have it working properly (I don't actually know whether they do), then anything about taking too much bandwidth is shit.

But cheaper and easier to pay someone to secure their wireless.
Actually, someone else did all the other ones. (notice how mine doesn't say anything about mares)
How do you say "Mod parent up" in French?

Don't you get simultaneous HD and SD signals? Here in Australia each digital broadcaster has an SD channel and an HD channel.

You must be new here.
What kind of user interface isn't user oriented?
$30 australian dollars, which is currently $23.24 US dollars, so it's not actually as bad as you make it sound. But yeah, you're right.
Plastic is organic.
Vista doesn't have progman.exe
OSX has already been hacked to run on standard PCs.
