Microsoft shares fell on Thursday after it declined to dampen rumours that its new Windows Vista operating system might face fresh delays. Its shares closed down 2% after a Microsoft executive appeared to avoid confirming the current January 2007 Vista release data for consumers. Instead, Microsoft's Kevin Johnson said Vista would be shipped "when it is available".

If I have a problem with something, I actually DO spend the time to give atleast a decent quality response and justification for that stance so that it comes accross as a decent bit of feed back rather than some clueless whining by a ranting teenager with a chip on both shoulders. [i]
That is your style, others might not choose to do something in a similar style all the time. They might just give a quick opinion during a short break on the job.
[[i]Not everybody got that much of time to kill on any topic.
Then maybe the said individual shouldn't reply unless they've actually got something valuable to add to the discussion; hence the reason I like Digg so much, the crap comments are weeded out early, and the coherent, quality ones remain. ]
That only indicates you can't tolerate others having a different style in expressing their opinions or writing posts.
[I don't see why a quick statement = immaturity.
What is mature about the statement, 'Windows is bloated, and it sucks!" - I don't know about you, but thats classic flamebait; ]
Well, if you are mature enough, you don't have to reply to this type of posts, right? Further, nobody sticks a gun to your forehead to force you to read them, correct?
The original post is like this "If Windows Live Messenger is any indication, Windows Vista will be a slow pig and a resource hog"
That is called inductive thinking, or extrapolation. The assumption is more like a prediction, not a dead accurate fact.
