These guys missed that memo:

"Vista is introducing alot of new features and I'm pretty sure we can (or

It's understood perfectly well: born and bred as a clone, continues to 
"borrow" from everything else in sight, bereft of ideas, poorly marketed, 
buggy, inconsistent, amateurish, half-ass code tossed out willy-nilly by 
inexperience hackers, then labeled 'excellent' by immature 
Microsoft-haters...

There's your "community".

Spare us.  Ever read www.linuxsecurity.com?  You really should.  If you had 
any integrity, you would repost lots of their security advisories.

It's going to blow Linux away, and force that <1% market share down to 
<0.1%.
