Having everything tied to everything and building components in isolation are not related or complementary problems (except that they are both bad ideas and probably even worse in combination).
For you to misconstrue what I wrote to imply that they are related is disingenuous. You are trying to mislead readers who may not have the background in software engineering to evaluate this on their own. You are just spindoctoring the MS party line. Reviews of W7 from WFBs count for nothing. WFBs and various paid shills always tell us of the wonderfulness of every piece of crap that issues from MS. Not a reliable source. Remember how we were told by WFBs and VPSs that Vista would be extremely secure? Then when Vista shipped we found Vista-specific malware already waiting for it. Vista was not found to be any more secure than XP. We still patch, patch, patch. Last month we even had an emergy patch for RPC attacks. We won't really know about the quality of W7 for several months after it ships. Your assertion that MS's adoption of bad software engineering practices is going to make W7 somehow better is pure nonesense. Your assertion that your early test version of W7 is just peachy is nonesense too. If MS really added many new features it would not be working as well as you say at this early stage. On the other hand, if W7 is working as well as you say, it strengthens the suspicion that W7 is just Vista warmed over. >So they are terrible for having everything tied together and horrible for >having everything component-ized? Spoken like a true glitterati. You seem >to be alone in your view since almost every review of W7 shows it was >extremely well received. Course they've actually used W7 so they aren't >basing their opinions on feelings. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
