I love the comments at the end of the article:

1 What the article misses is the real reason that piracy is down
50% from Windows XP levels, which is that NOBODY WANTS
VISTA.. How ironic that by writing code that nobody wants,
they have less people stealing it. Perhaps they should
concentrate on development in other areas....

I'm pretty sure the "Yugo" automobile had a pretty low theft rate as
well...


2 I moved to Linux when 30 gig was not enough to run Windows XP.
What took 26 gig within Windows now takes less than 4. I am
100% MS free and loving every minute of it.




What I love is your comments on any computer OS, when it is obviously
apparent you know nothing about any of them.


Harry you are a laugh a minute. Are you going to claim that you are a
systems programmer and you have specific and exact knowledge about
operating system design, implementation and maintenance?

Even though I have been in the computer field for 25 years working in
operating system maintenance and applications design, implementation and
maintenance I would never claim to know all of the intricacies of
operating systems.
