Ya know... I used to be an MS hater, but then I grew up and realized that they are a company developing solutions and trying to make money. They have deadlines to meet, which means cutting conners and dropping features. In the open source world you can take as much time to design and implement something correctly as you need. This is not true with closed software.
Now don't get me wrong, I dispize windows as an operating system, simply because it does not work. And don't come to me with stories about how good your windows pc works. You don't know how many times each week talk to some one who's computer just stoped working right one day. Some one who thinks they need a new computer cause this one has started running slow...
I do respece Microsoft as a company and I respect their (seeming) effort to do Vista right. Now if they screw this one up... I do not respect everything Microsoft does (all the damn standards "tweaking" and stuff) but I understand a lot more of what they do now then I have in the past.
