"Free" is not a word you want to use loosely around the M$ campus. Why do the lemmings still buy M$? 'Cause they always have and everyone knows how it works, and while it isn't that good, it puts bright and shiny over the warts. Vista may turn this around though. It's REALLY bad.

They have apparently escalated the goals to accomplish shrieking, hair pulling, and blaspheming in unknown languages before being reduced to weeping. On the positive side, it used to be that I actually had to accomplish my design goals to feel accomplishment. Now, if I get the silly box of switches to do ANYTHING it feels like a major accomplishment.
