Microsoft Microsoft has announced an integrated suite of tools for designers, as well as a new preview of the company's 'Flash killer' technology, putting Microsoft squarely into competition with Adobe. Microsoft on Dec. 4 announced its Expression Studio suite of tools for designers, consisting of four tools - three of which had been introduced heretofore and a new tool stemming from an acquisition the company made last summer. In addition, Microsoft announced a new CTP of its WPF/E technology, and there's also an app to show it off, while with some workarounds WPF can be used in Vista's Sidebar.

No, in this particular instance he got modded down because it's off-topic (so is this, btw - feel free to mod it down as well).

Usually he gets modded down because he calls those who disagree with him "cultists."

Do you have two accounts? One to mod me down, and one to mod your posts up?

Surely a rude person like you who pretends to be the OSNews police isn't that popular?

Surely stalking me and modding down all my posts (as well referenced as they are) is rude?

I don't have two accounts, but it does seem as if someone is modding my posts up as soon as they are posted. Maybe there's a glitch in the system or something.

I really don't care, though, what my score is, as long as it's above 1.00.

As for your posts, well, the fact that they are nearly all off-topic is the reason they get modded down.

They also misrepresent the references they point to, but that in itself is not sufficient reason to mod them down. Being dishonest, in and of itself, is allowed. Being off-topic isn't.

I note that you didn't try to deny that you routinely insult those you disagree with by calling them cultists...

Is it more rude or less rude than routinely insulting those who disagree with you, as you do?
