Star Microsoft Publishes Detailed Vista SP1 Changelog
Linked by Thom Holwerda on Sat 8th Dec 2007 23:09 UTC
Windows "Leading up to next week's public beta-test release of Windows Vista Service Pack 1 Release Candidate, Microsoft today has published a 17-page document outlining in fine detail exactly what difference SP1 makes to Vista. Some of the contents has been shared in bits in the past, but this is so far the most comprehensive 'changelog' we've ever seen and probably will see as the final version is not expected to differ much from the RC, with the exception of WGA modifications."

Now you've lost me. How do you presume to know what I do? How do you know I don't do exactly that: avoid DRM'ed products in all its forms?

I don't know who is it you're really angry at but you're going more and more off on a tangent here.

I don't see what disclosure of voters would achieve. Sure, it might give a user some insight, but what's he going to do with it? Engage in petty wars, probably. Not desirable.

Let's let it be. Sure, everyone's been bitten by hateful down-voting. Not the end of life as we know it.

The issue is that there are those who have their comments moderated down - and their comments actually have contributed to the discourse; because it isn't visible, the debate is poorer.

Its like parliamentary debates, imagine if the government in power doctored the tapes of debates relating to a particular piece of legislation - how is it possible to look back in retrospect to learn and understand what lead up to the legislation.

That is the problem. To simply have posts moderated out of existence, the discourse on this website is poorer, and simply ends up become a forum where all people end up singing from the same hymn sheet. It turns into a monoculture where nothing is learned and people simply sit around patting each other on the back.
