Well, quite honestly, I was flaming the/. editor for using tricky quoting on the article to portray some mis-guided point. I apologize if my attack seemed aimed at you. Your comment was completely understandable and quite funny.;-)
Hold on a damn minute! This is where mediated sites like/. can get a bit ridiculous. It's obvious the editors are MS haters from the mis-leading quotes of the article.
The editor quotes the article as such, "for me [it] was one of the worst operating system experiences that I've ever encountered."
Come on!!! What about the 4 words just before that? You know the 4 words that complete the entire sentence. There's no need to shorten the sentence by 4 words (3 of which are tiny) unless you have some agenda you would like to spew on the readers.
The full quote should read, "Installing Vista Beta 2, for me was one of the worst operating system experiences that I've ever encountered." Note the words "Installing Vista Beta 2,..." at the beginning. You're trying to make it sound like the whole of Vista Beta 2 was the worst experience for the article's author.
What a bunch of bullsh@t! Get over yourselves and report accurately without stupid little quoting games just to get people to believe in what Spy der Mann now believes is truth.
Oh, and how long will it take before my comment is deleted by the mods? Not freaking long, I'm sure.
