OS X is in the same boat.
Unstable, as in needs to be rebooted about one a week just to clear
the memory leaks (I grew up with uptimes measured in months, and in
one case, years, not days).
This was true for NT and pre-2000 clients,
Nope, I just have Acrobat 8. I used to have an old version of PaperPort
on an XP machine, and that could do it IIRC, but I don't have it for Vista.
You woule think Acrobat could do this, but Acrobat only provides rotation
in 90-degree increments. Curse Adobe.

Knowing how gullible they are do you think we can sell them some Magik

Don't forget that mac baaa or whatever you MFB do...apple is headed that way
too.

Or VISTA is skip it release like ME. August isn't that far away and WIN7
seems like it may be more forgiving of older hardware than VISTA. Waiting
will save me unlearning parts of VISTA.
Probably a good plan, except for the stuff they will be leaving out of

The issue isn't which OS is the better OS; that's beside the point.
This was never a discussion of better. Of course, Win7 will be better
than Vista, though that may be seen as damning by faint praise. The
discussion is whether Win7 is just a bug-fix follow-on to Vista. The

UNIX geeks laugh at people who can't write a proper installer. Yet Apple
gets progressively worse at this. The latest OS patcher starts with a
reboot and applies patches during boot up. That is about as tacky
I am glad that This Time Microsoft Gets It Right. The issue is how
much we ought to be charged for a successor to Vista. Should be $0. (Apple
did that with OS X.1. It was the honest thing to do.)
That was SP1 for Vista. It's free (which is anti-competitive, right?).
Nope. You don't know
I have not tried OS X server so I can not comment on that. On the
client side, it is true that OS X has increasingly required a reboot
after an OS patch. Windows boxes, both clients and servers,
frequently require a reboot after an application patch.
I was mostly addressing server side
This time the tech press seems to have done a better
job at accurate reporting than certain persons
posting here.
Somehow you keep failing to note that the review is overwhelmingly positive.
So, if you mean that the review is, in fact, more positive than what

Seems like an odd report seeing that MS is already in the smartphone market
and has been for years. Otherwise the article is a parody absent of facts.
Having used a WM device for some time now I can say without reservation MS's
WM development team should spend life in front of a firing squad,

This theory of yours about not getting call backs is...well wrong. I've

were severely broken. Win 7 fixes some of this.
2) more efficiently designed means Vista was a pig,

The author himself states it is one individual at MS that has a
