Summary: Some arbitrary observations and news to start the day with
YESTERDAY we showed that, according to some people, even Windows Vista is better than Vista 7. If true, this is yet another failure, a catastrophe maybe. Our reader Marti is testing Vista 7 these days and yesterday he wrote: “Windows 7 even suck more than Vista. It can’t connect to Windows shares in your LAN for crying out loud. Ubuntu 9.10 has no problems with Windows shares.“
=> Windows Vista is better than Vista 7 | ↺ yet another failure
At ZDNet UK, another story is now being told about Windows pains.
So after another 6 hours of update/reboot/download drivers/update/reboot/whatever, it was working again.
We keep hearing about the long time that’s required to install Windows (compared to GNU/Linux).
Another one of our reader — going by the name “Goblin” — has written about COFEE leaks and there is a valuable old quote in there at the end.

It seems strange to me that Microsoft is so keen to help fight crime when in Bill Gates own words (as partly quoted earlier on): As long as they are going to steal it, we want them to steal ours.
Speaking of Windows and crime, it turns out that just using Windows puts one at risk of being labeled a “criminal”.

Innocent people have been branded as child abusers after malware infected their PCs, an AP investigation has discovered.
This is harming the innocent and making it more difficult to correctly identify offenders. As our reader David Gerard puts it, “If you run Windows you might be branded a PAEDO.” There is famous precedence. █
