Shock and awe; Windows Vista has been released to the hounds (that would be us). As just about every publication has reiterated a thousand times over it took 5+ years of design and development and cost USD 5.5 billion both directly and indirectly. We were promised (maybe not even promised, but bullshitted) a revolutionary operating system and what we got is for you to determine for yourselves. I personally think it's a disappointment to say the least.

Actually it is. Windows piracy is as bad as Microsoft getting children hooked on Windows and MS Office by giving it away freely or cheaply to educational centres.
This way the children learns nothing but obeying Microsoft. Very smart and very unethical (and there fore very Microsoftish).

Oh please. How is Windows addiction (whatever that is) a "real danger" - especially when compared to additions that are harmful in quantifiable ways?

Your contention is that "practice N is bad, because it's just as bad as practice N"? Isn't that basically a texbook example of a sophist argument?
