Windows Vista has had something of a troubled birth. Hyped features were pulled, and the project as a whole took far longer to complete than expected, partly due to standing still while MS dropped everything to work on WinXP Service Pack 2, but in part also due to a decision to "reset" and scrap much of the new development. This has led some commentators to dub the project a "train wreck."

Exactly, a troll is a troll, no matter what platform they use, and the users of the respective OS don’t want trolls as much as any other. A troll’s whole purpose is to smear an OS, why do you think have such a wide variety of labels for them? Mac hater/Apple fag, Microsoftie/Windows Basher, Linux Zealot/Linux Troll

It's a shame that the Linux community has become so paranoid and desperate, that they feel the need to jump onto any Vista thread with this kind of unsubstantiated bilge.

At least show some manners;
Is there any reason why you feel qualified to criticize the Linux community's manners, when you can't be well-mannered yourself?

You can't generalize comments like that an related them with entire Linux Community.
My personal believe leaves me to never use Windows Vista because its a fully 'DRMized' O.S. This also is a concern for people who figth for users freedom and against ideas like 'Trusted' Computing. I think that is the main reason for many comments and complains about Windows Vista design are comming from people who use and support free-software ideas (GPL and compatible).
What is wrong with Vista? Its because you need a brand new computer to operate it or because they had stolen ideas from others and don't give the credit for them? Nothing to do with this IMO, its only because his treacherous design.

<I<the Windows bods round here seem happy enough to stay out of Linux-only threads[/i]
Um, excuse me? Are we talking about the same OSNews? Because the truth is that pro-MS posters troll Linux-only threads *all the time*, and it's been pretty much the case since I started coming to this web site three or four years ago.
Let's just agree that *all* trolling is bad, and that it affects *all* sides of the never-ending OS debate.

At least show some manners; the Windows bods round here seem happy enough to stay out of Linux-only threads; I guess they don't feel the need to push their choice of OS at every given opportunity.
