Do you suppose that the corrective action to this observed situation was the
reason that Vista took additional time to perfect? These comments were made
in 2004, some three years prior to Vista's release after all. Are you
amazed that Microsoft might have some internal differences of opinion about
how to proceed in various areas? It seems to me that Torvalds' calling
various things "ass hat ideas" is not so different from Microsoft managers'
criticism of internal elements there.
