I only later realised that Richard Raster and Gruff had beat me to it. Sorry
about that duplicate, which happens to be an excellent an honest review from
the Register. No boot licking for Ballmer and his gang.
The Inquirer reporter that PR firms had an onslaught on every journalist, on
behalf on Microsoft. That was around the time Vista was released. And if
every E-mail that comes your way excerts exactly the same promotional

were borgs in a storm of brainwash and peer pressure.
