Star Review: Microsoft Windows Vista Build 5270
Linked by Thom Holwerda on Wed 25th Jan 2006 18:29 UTC, submitted by Shah Jahan
Windows "A while back, when Microsoft announced its decision to no longer release a monthly CTP for Vista, we were a bit worried, since we wanted to follow-up on the latest developments of Microsoft's next-generation operating system (though Microsoft promised to update current versions via critical updates). To Microsoft's credit, it has kept its word and has released an update sooner than we had anticipated, and needless to say, the changes in this release are substantial."

You're seeing the Microsoft reality distortion field in effect there. Next people will be screaming blue murder that IE invented tabs and FOSS copied; and that MS invented the feed icon and Firefox "copied".

No, I'm not joking either...

Uh... what? What are you talking about?

Microsoft DID buy Giant. MS Anti-spyware IS the Giant product slightly redesigned. I haven't used the final version of "Windows Defender," but then, neither have you.

So how is that reality distortion?

Gah, I wasn't replying to you! I was appending a comment concerning your reply to the root comment. The root comment believed MS wrote Windows Defender when it is common knowledge that they bought up Giant - this is the reality distortion field I speak of - people believing MS invented everything themselves.
