    What discussion? A discussion implies people that listen to each other.

    I have Glonkie on ignore and I read about one out of every ten things he posts, and that is being generous.

    There's really nothing to talk about. A fairly well-known net columnist and Microsoft fanboi thinks Vista sucks after having used it. Perhaps he's in the minority, but who knows, or even cares.

    Apparently, Asher does, because he's wasted his time responding to someone who doesn't even read the crap he posts.

      Your claim would be a lot more credible if you didn't reply to his posts.

      Face it, you troll each other, and you bite pretty much every time.

      I will admit you ignore him better than he ignores you, though. Just barely.

        How many have I read and replied to in this thread? I think I might have read one or two. Just because I post something after Asher does, does not mean I read his drivel. Most of the time I don't.

        If it seems to make some sequential sense, then that is solely due to Glonk's predictability and lack of self control, or to blind luck. Choose which you will.

          I went through a cursory examination after a minute and DanSed you. A lot of your replies to him are after someone has quoted him. I believe your claim that you have him on ignore. I don't believe your claim that you ignore him.

            That's the cool thing about belief: it is distinct from knowledge. You'd be surprised at how easy it is to post relevant material after someone you have on ignore. I have quite a few people on ignore (less at the moment for some reason).

            If you want to check the thread index, I think this is the first computer related thread I've posted in months (I rarely post such threads). Most of the time I don't bother, although Thurrott dissing Microsoft is rather priceless, if you've been a follower of his career.

                Someone else asked a question. It's hard to scroll down a thread and miss a picture of yourself.

                Surely you can do better than that, don't you go to some kind of school for the gifted?

                  I don't know why he even claims he has him on ignore. It seems patently untrue.

                  Though he probably should since Asher wipes the floor with him on technical debates.

                      Desk Accessories are related, but you cannot consider them the same thing as Dashbord/Konfabulator widgets.

                        Here's a shocker!

                        It turns out a lot of the complaints Thurrott had are resolved in the latest interim build already: http://www.windowsitpro.com/windowsp...ott_50051.html

                        I don't know if he's just stupid, or if he just likes the pageviews from the /. and Aggie-like crowd. In any case, it shouldn't surprise anyone that a ton can and will change between now and its RTM date in November.

                            By Microsoft resolving the issues raised in the quoted article, by implication this means that they were valid concerns and that if, 7/8 months away from the finished article, these basic design ****-ups are coming up, that leaves me to fear there is something very wrong at Microsofts R&D.

                            Still, I think Vista is likely to be the best (i.e., most stable, secure and fast) version of Windows, once all the useless crap has been disabled that they seem to be spending much of their time fusticating over.

                                Unfortunately, MS never seems to have time for either.
