Not at all.  Tell me, who had IPV6 support first, Vista or Linux?  How
about the linkage?  3D desktop?  Who does it all with fewer resources?

Oh, right.  Linux.  Not Vista.

Vista was supposed to have a whole laundry list of new and sexy features,
several of which have been canned and a lot of the rest of which everybody
else is going "What, you're just getting that *now*?"

Yeah, well.  IPV6.  And that wasn't released two years ago or more as an
update to XP why, exactly?

Old news and latecomers.  Windows is just getting this stuff now? What's
next, they're going to stop bundling an abacus with every unit sold?
