You realize that them throwing the data away was done for the same reasons the BBC tossed out all those videos and films of old shows -- to save space. "
There's a bit of a difference between throwing out old episodes of Dad's Army and throwing away data that's supposedly helping to prove that man is causing global warming.
I'm fed up with Ubuntu users. If it was just your obscenity of a distribution that was a problem, I could cope with simply not using it. That isn't my biggest issue, however.
You insist on lying and engaging in denial about everything that is wrong with it, and suppressing complaint about said problems in any way you can. I know how this post is immediately headed for -1, and the reason given doesn't matter at all, does it?
Well fucking said! *applauds* Ubuntu users are the Scientologists of the OSS world.
Really? If you look at the release dates of previous Windows versions you'll see that Microsoft was releasing a new OS every 2 or 3 years up until they screwed up Vista's development. So, releasing 7 three years after Vista isn't a big deal, and it only proves that "Vista was a failure" to the uninformed.
Clarification about the use of QoS in end computers that are running Windows XP
As in Windows 2000, programs can take advantage of QoS through the QoS APIs in Windows XP. One hundred percent of the network bandwidth is available to be shared by all programs unless a program specifically requests priority bandwidth. This "reserved" bandwidth is still available to other programs unless the requesting program is sending data. By default, programs can reserve up to an aggregate bandwidth of 20 percent of the underlying link speed on each interface on an end computer. If the program that reserved the bandwidth is not sending sufficient data to use it, the unused part of the reserved bandwidth is available for other data flows on the same host.
Folks hated the Vista look, and now they are going to "fix it" by taking away the quicklaunch and taskbar and replacing it with something that makes it hard to tell if a program is running or not?
May be able to run on the same box as XP but EVERYONE who ran Vista on those XP boxes had to upgrade their graphics card and their RAM ($300+ the price of Windows).
What a load of shit! I was running XP with a 9800pro and 1GB of RAM, and Vista ran fine on the same setup. No upgrades required!

So what European country will be first to make "AGW denial" a crime?
France.

What you talkin about Willis?
Vista (and Windows 7) are still plagued with problems. Some are "We made a wrong design decision" (Like the search functionality)
What's the "wrong design decision" in this instance?
WTF? When did Linux get infested with idiot fanboys?

You do.
Everyone on this thread is now dumber for having read it.

The GP was bashing Microsoft. Welcome to Slashdot!
But what is with such a low quality article getting on Slashdot?
Do you come here often?
I don't know what you're doing wrong, because everything works fine in 9.04 for me. Did you download the correct version from here?
Run Windows Update and install IE8.

Novell did some usability testing a few years ago, but it doesn't seem to be an ongoing thing (the site hasn't been updated since 2006).

I'm guessing the answer's "speed". The VelociRaptor's are 10,000rpm, whereas the SpinPoints are 7200rpm.
If this is true
It's not true. It's a load of bollocks.
I haven't really tested Windows 7 but I seriously doubt it locks you out of Local Settings folder.
It doesn't, but that won't stop a lot of the people on /. believing that it does.

The thing about UAC is that it doesn't make it more secure if all you have to do is press allow
It does make things more secure. Example: http://brandonlive.com/2007/01/31/vista-myths-users-will-just-click-ok/
That's a myth.
