We’re happy fore you Bill, but the fact remains that vast numbers of people see no advantage over XP. Throw in the fact that it is infected with DRM and there’s just no reason to use it.”

People saw no advantage from 2000 to XP. It was just the “in” thing to act like you didn’t want the new OS. If you want to stay with XP then fine, but don’t act like your need to stay with XP constitutes a universally lousy OS experience for everyone else.

And the DRM in Vista seems to have been left out of my computer as it seems to be non existent.

“I hope they lose a ton of money and continue suffer humiliation as people refuse to “upgrade” and get it right next time, minus the DRM.”

I have no idea what that means.

“Speaking of indescribably bad software, has anyone else had a look at the software for Zune. No words in the language are adequate. You have to see it for youself.”

Have seen it. In fact I just used it a hour ago. Again I had zero problems.

So the window on your Zune software isn't a ridiculously stylized thing that servers no useful purpose? The mouse doesn't behave erratically and leave images of the pointer all over the screen; almost as if it is trying to somehow override the mouse driver itself? You are easily to pick and choose which columns are displayed with a simple right click? There are dozens of attibutes you can display in columns, and one of those columns is "date added"? You are able to select multiple songs for property editing( so you can rename a whole album at once)? It doesn't take a long time to load and use a ridiculous amount of memory? It doesn't have a scroll bar that is about a millimeter wide, and difficult to grip? When you do scroll, your hard drive doesn't grind and your screen doesn't flicker? It has standard Windows features like file and edit menus, just like microsoft tells us all good Windows applications should? It is able to take an unknown song, or even a song recorded from vinyl, go to the Internet and accurately identify that song within seconds, just like itunes can?

It isn't essentially unusable and inferior to itunes in every way imaginable? We must somehow have gotten different software. Is the version 2.3.1338 I have actually some sort of inter-company joke that somehow slipped out on the internet?
