Early adopters of Microsoft's new Vista operating system are reporting problems with its implementation of IPv6, a long-anticipated upgrade to the Internet's primary protocol. "Vista is showing some serious deficiencies around IPv6 and IPv4 insofar as their compliance or the transparency of their compliance around IP behaviors," says Loki Jorgenson, chief scientist for Apparent Networks, a provider of network assessment and optimization tools.

"The BSD codebase is a time tested and hardened code base. It doesn't however, completely rule out Microsoft's offering."
Windows could never match BSD on quality, stability, reliability, unless...... they use BSD code.
"You made a blind comparison, and judging from your other comments here it seems you do that a lot."
I thought BSD superiority over Windows was obvious. Do you disagree?
"Microsoft may not be the best software company, but blindly disregarding them is silly as well."
Tell me when they make a quality, DRM/activation/WGA free, fairly priced OS, with a reasonable EULA, and I will consider not disregarding them.
"There are some pretty bright people working at Redmond."
They must be very embarrassed about Vista.
"Microsoft however, goes about it's development process completely wrong."
I agree, Vista proves that.
"Instead of "it ships when it's ready", they push a crunch time cut off date which developers must meet."
They should spend more time improving the OS, instead of infecting it with DRM.
"This is the reason why such seemingly obvious issues are overlooked."
I will never overlook Windows obvious inferiority to other OS's.

Whoa, slowdown fanoy.
Again, you're going back to your blind assertion as if you've somehow seen the sourcecode to Windows. Unless you have your comparison is unfounded, and wrong.
As for the rest of your comment, it's just useless fanboyish ranting which has been argued into oblivion.

Not at first. The BSD codebase is a time tested and hardened code base. It doesn't however, completely rule out Microsoft's offering.
