OSNews has a job to do, and that job is to report News based on Operating Systems etc etc

Now, this might come as a shock, but OSNews does not make up the stories. It mearly provide links to news that other people put out.

Now, it could be that there is no news that week for your distro of choice and 20 for Windows Vista.

To not report news is censorship and this site does not support that.


How is this so hard for you all to see ?

Didn't blame OSNews for releasing the articles did I? I don't believe so. Maybe you'd like to go read my ENTIRE post instead of just a couple lines.

You're a bright one. I'll have to give you that.

Wasn't aware that Windows XP was referred to as a distro, but regardless, I hardly think Vista has enough impact or importance at this point to be worthy of 20 "news" articles. It is still what, a year away?

Here, I'll make this simple so you can understand the point I was trying to make. Ready?

I don't know why other people complain about Windows articles. I'm not them. For me, however, it is because most of them are valueless, substanceless, useless, uninformative, pointless, poo, etc.

How many years have we been subjected to Longhorn/Vista "news"? How much of it has been relevant?

At least with Ubuntu, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, SuSE, and others that we've seen a lot of lately, you can buy/download them or will be able to do so in the near future (within a month). When can you get Vista? A year from now?

Yeah, that matters.

Finally, I am talking about news articles in general. Not simply those found on OSNews. If you take a look at ALL of the Windows Vista articles over the last week there have been what, one?
