Microsoft released several updates to Windows Vista Monday, the day before the new operating system debuted for consumers and landed on retail shelves. None of the updates were security fixes. The five updates for the 32-bit version of Vista - one was immediately replaced Tuesday with an update to the update - fix difficulties installing the OS on PCs with more than 3GB of memory, troubles connecting with a VPN server, and performance problems with Internet Explorer 7 and its anti-phishing feature. The largest of the five updates, however, is one that addresses incompatibility issues for a host of applications and games.

I can take it all day, my (privately held) company is partially OWNED by Microsoft.
Yeah, yeah, and my grandmother is the queen of England...such claims are irrelevant.
I see tons of mistakes made, things that bother me, etc. I can probably rattle off more things I feel are wrong with Microsoft than any of you lusers.
Sigh. Case in point.
By the way I find it interesting that you feel it was all personal attacks. Ignorance is not an insult, we are all ignorant about more things than knowledgeable.
Are you sure you're a businessman? With that kind of spin, you sound more like a politician. Calling someone ignorant because he disagrees with you is certainly not a compliment.
Whatever. Just try to stay civil, m'kay?

"you should know that personal attacks will be modded down."
That is plenty ok; This comment was directed at a specific user and if I could mod it -5 myself I would (as this post, please mod it down folks!). My post was of no interest to anyone else, except you for some reason, I agree.
"If you can't take criticism of your favorite abusive near-monopoly without resorting to insults,"
I can take it all day, my (privately held) company is partially OWNED by Microsoft. I see tons of mistakes made, things that bother me, etc. I can probably rattle off more things I feel are wrong with Microsoft than any of you lusers. I wonder why it is that whenever someone addresses another persons complaints and ranting they suddenly cannot handle criticism?

Many people work at "McDonald's" (low wage) type places and cannot afford any software, sans games of course, subsequently many people in this position hate MS because of 1.) their value and 2.) their software cost.
It was an asinine comment, let us call a spade a spade. And let's be real here, based on this one comment the person is a jackass. This is your typical anti-microsoft, pro linux HYPOCRITE poster (not that I believe he uses anything other than Windows 75% of the time).
Yes I am blunt, yes I do not spend time clarifying, yes people think I am a dick.
Good day sir.
