Microsoft stopped caring about efficient code, let alone good code. Just watch Vista.
Seen a few hours ago:
[16:56] <ender2070_> microsoft ignores older versions
[16:56] <ender2070_> its security team is shit
[16:56] <DaemonFC> Vista + SP2 + Platform Update gives you pretty much all of Windows 7 that means anything
[16:56] <ender2070_> they cant focus as well updating every version for security issues
[16:57] <ender2070_> and it shows
[16:57] <DaemonFC> I actually have a Vista Business license I thought about replacing Windows 7 Home Premium with
[16:57] <ender2070_> then you're a bigger nub than I thought
[16:57] <DaemonFC> I found a lot of things in Windows 7 I hate worse than Vista
[16:57] <DaemonFC> especially the interface
[16:58] <DaemonFC> 7 is also buggier
[16:58] <DaemonFC> Vista never shut down Aero with no warning then it comes back later
[16:59] <DaemonFC> still haven't figured that out
[16:59] <DaemonFC> happens on Nvidia and ATI
[17:00] <shreddar> It's hard for me to understand how there are still PC gamers.
