Windows Technologizer has an interesting article about why Windows Vista failed, and it provides 16 reasons why this is the case. A few of those reasons reveal a certain lack of understanding, but a more pressing issue is that while listing these reasons individually is interesting, Vista's failure in the marketplace can be explained in a much more compact fashion.

You do understand that quoting references on the internet doesn't mean your statement is true?

It adds no weight to the discussion. Honestly.

That's why we have a mod system, where people can up things as insightful or down as straight trolling. They mod because they believe the comment in their experience is true or false (or some degree of true and false). Adding internet references never makes your point more correct; it only re-reinforces a belief that the poster's position is lacking in substance.

In what way was the original opinion supposed to have more substance, giving as it did no references, but just sprouting an unfounded, unsupported alleged criticism which is easily shown (with a few simple screenshots) to be false?

As for the moderation system ...

(98% positive moderations).

Oh, BTW, trolling is anathema to my personality type. I'm not trolling.

Some people here really seem to be in desperate denial somehow.

Hi

I've read your profile page. You're really proud of that INTJ concept.

I kind of get the feeling that you're abusing it, though. You're just too intolerant to other peoples ideas, preferences or experiences and use it (INTJ) to justify your aggresion (that's what I would call your way of arguing...).

BTW, this page is incredible smug: http://intjcentral.com/manual3


DON’T express an opinion to us unless you are prepared to back it up with sound arguments and well pedigreed facts and evidence. Otherwise do not be surprised when we logically shred your opinion for you and hand it back to you in tatters.


or

DON’T engage us in “small talk”. Keep in mind that you are competing for our attention with all the voices in our heads, and they are bound to be far more interesting than you


It's not like INTJ is another word for genius/superior being...

Typical INTJ response would be: yes it is.

:D
