You mean "Duke Nuken ForWindows"? For all it seems, judging by the pattern of
promises and vapourware (procrastination has already begun with Windows 7
release date being pushed back by years), you might not see Windows 7 for
another 5 years. By that time, with Vista on the shelves (new surveys confirm
that it's unwanted), Microsoft's market share will have eroded. If the Yahoo
acquisition is successful, Microsoft will be in debt within months.
I don't have time to choose my words carefully or mentioned all those articles
that slam Vista (I'm still migrating my Web site), but I'm very confident in
what I post here and as I wrote to you a few minutes ago: Don't. Trust. A
word. A Munchkin. Says. If I used no filters and replied to each false
accusation, I would not have managed to post Linux success stories. That's
just what the trolls want. And with that nuisance on my server, I'm slowed
down already. :-( :-(
