Since when is calling people shills the latest trend on Slashdot. Defeat them with logic and facts, not petty insults. Labeling someone is not an instant argument winner.
No one ever implied that IT = computer science. Look up the terms, they are very different fields. I'm not sure what point you were trying to make with that quip. In fact, this has nothing to do with the article or its context. Keep your stereotypes to yourself. Mod parent down.
Amen! I can't understand why everyone wants to see Microsoft fail with Vista. If Microsoft turns out a great product, that will simply force open source and Apple into high gear to turn out an equally competitive product. Success for any company in the software business is a good thing, as it drives competition. Stagnation occurs when a poor solution is never replaced by a better alternative. That's what everyone on here was bitching about with the old iterations of Windows. Now we have a modern Windows solution that will drive competitors into action. Hence, better Linux and better OSX. What do we have to lose from Microsoft's success? Onward, towards better operating systems!
Wow, talk about holding Microsoft to a different standard than other software companies. Last time I checked, in the OSS pit that is Slashdot, getting feedback about functionality from your potential users is a good thing.
