Microsoft is poised to release to testers the second Community Technology Preview release of Vista, paving the way for a second full-fledged beta, which is now expected in December. Among the new features which could find their way into the updated build are a number of IE 7.0 enhancements; the resurrected "Sidebar" task pane; Windows Media Player 11.0; and new networking functionality.

"Well. You're wrong. Take a look at Linux 10 years ago and you will realize that desktop-wise"
Please don't pigeon hole my comment to one area.
"nothing really changed"
Well, you're wrong
"On the other side, Apple and Microsoft made radical changes to their OS. Compare OSX with older MacOS and compare Vista to older Windows and you will see many differences (lot of them are under the hood btw)."
If the source code was open, then we would truly be able to compare, but since it is closed, all we can do aside from looking at the surface is speculate about what's beneath. Any smart navigator on the waters wants to know what lies beneath, but that just goes to show that stupidity $ell$.
"FOSS programmers are not the best of the best."
Not this again, next we'll see posters going to talk in the third person without their accounts and then talking again with their accounts again to try and demonize others.
"The proof is that corporations like Microsoft and Apple have enough money to pick the best ones as soon as they are about to graduate."
The proof is that more people on this Earth would rather choose to sell their soul to Satan rather than take any setbacks that come in order to further humanity. Innovation has been stifled by a monopoly for years and it's only now that times are changing. Once times have changed for good, no mafia like tactics from gorillas will be able to keep the open source movement from gaining ground.
"So I don't really understand your point of view."
I think you do, based on your past posts on the subject of borgsoft.
"Maybe some anti-ms stuff?"
The same old philosophy that software should be free and open for the benefit of humanity. The majority opposes this, as it threatens their philosophy of worshipping money and themselves. That's too bad, the poor outnumber the rich, and with the flattening of the world via internet, people all over the planet are learning how to communicate with each other and about FOSS.
The bea$t is weakened - oh, and, you may want to stay on-topic about the VLC media player at least somewhere in your reply, because you're way off topic.
