I'm not too proud of a Microsoft blogger to say that I think the, "feature" is as FUBAR as Microsoft's response regarding it is. lol. And as you can tell, nor are my colleagues who are equally as reputable in the Microsoft blogger realm.<BR/><BR/>MS could've simply said, "yes, we'll get to work on that" since it IS only beta 1 thus far but, hey... I don't work for Microsoft; I just enjoy using their products. If they want to start calling loopholes a part of design, then just as long as they "tweak" it the right way by RTM, whatever floats their PR boat is fine with me.<BR/><BR/>-StephenStephen Chapmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12682399482823248567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3813856659277593071.post-6389743207385575542009-02-08T13:46:00.000+01:002009-02-08T13:46:00.000+01:00Gee, it's a blog, man.

This stuff was on all of the top Microsoft news sites and blogs as soon as these documents hit the net. If you search hard enough, you'll find even more damning testimony given by Microsoft employees in documents that were available for a short time on the official government site for the case but they were removed when Microsoft discovered the documents were being made public. The files that documented what went on in the courtroom were always available.<BR/><BR/>I responded to your comment on my blog if you'd like to go check it out and respond: http://uxevangelist.blogspot.com/2008/09/are-you-too-lazy-to-learn-vista.html<BR/><BR/>I'd just like to point out that you may want to reconsider using such dated and widely-referenced information to prove a point. The Vista bashing saw its time, many people hate the OS simply because of outdated/negative opinions, and now it's on to Windows 7. Why not focus bashing on it instead of digging so far back into the history of Vista... especially pre-reset. Just my 2 cents from a guy without a lot of money. ;)<BR/><BR/>-StephenStephen Chapmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12682399482823248567noreply@blogger.com
