I love how any Apple-related comment automatically gets voted down and low-ranked. You people are unbelievable.

Hahaha.

First, it was an example and I never said it was a file system.

Second, why does anyone want anything? Maybe we should all just stand still and never make any progress whatsoever. Maybe WinFS didn't make sense in that particular pre-Vista incarnation but should that mean they shouldn't take it in a different direction and build a file system that does make sense. You can't tell me that they can do no better than NTFS.

Third, it's not necessarily about wanting any one particular feature. It's about all the hype that goes into these new products that never pans out in the end. Don't promise me things you have no intention of delivering on. Vista went from this fantastic concept to a huge joke. Now, instead of fixing something they already sold us, let's just talk about the next product and all it's new features we'll never actually see either.

Finally, as Director of IT for a Fortune 1000 company, I do know what I want and what said features would give me. Thanks for questioning, though, Mr. Smart Ass. If you ever want a job, please let me know. I would love the opportunity to fire you for being a know-it-all prick.

What about the stuff they left out of Vista? WinFS, anyone?

It's Dr. Evil. He didn't go to evil med school to be called Mr.

This guy deserves life without parole -- to get away from his wife. Wow, what a BITCH!

I'm not going to get sucked into a verbal ping pong match with you. I'll even go so far as to apologize for "gay bashing" you. If you like getting corn-holed, it's really none of my business and has no relevance here.

You obviously have your misguided opinion and I have the more accurate, realistic one.

Have a nice day and enjoy the weather. I imagine its HOT where you are now.

You forgot the part where they said, "and let's throw the baby in so we can REALLY milk it for all it's worth! We can always make more!!"

You're obviously not a parent and by the sound of it, maybe you never should be.

Nice of you to chime in a week later. I like how you've chosen to go the opposite way and use overly large words, no doubt taken straight from the Thesaurus, adding countless hours to your waste of time posting.

For the record, I am not Microsoft bashing -- I'm big company, big business bashing. Its my opinion that large, mass recalls could be avoided if they did their due diligence. It's also my opinion that we only see mass recalls when these companies realize that the potential liability is greater than the cost of the recall iteslf.

I'm sorry you were so hurt by my opinions. I know there are a lot of touchy Microsoft lovers out there and it pains you to see your favorite company painted is such a bad light. You feel it's your obligation to stand up for them or run the risk of them not loving you any more. I know the thought of losing that man-on-man lovin' from Big Daddy Gates probably has you waking up in a cold sweat with shooting pains in your ass. I'm sure that has nothing to do with the fact that you're getting corn-holed on a regular basis.

People like you make my skin crawl. You would rather defend the richest company on earth, who incidently is also the company with the least scruples in the world, rather than show the least bit of compassion for a grief-stricken family and their dead child. The fact that people like you could even suggest that they are bad parents, with no facts to back a statement like that up, tells me what big pieces of shit you all must truely be.

My final thoughts: I hope YOUR next brush with a faulty product nearly burns you to death. I say NEARLY because I think it's only fitting that you spend the rest of your days suffering and reflecting on your attitude and the comments you've made about this poor, helpless, innocent child and it's parents you've condemned in your blind, misplaced devotion to corporate america. It's obvious that it's your feeling that the products they sell are more important that the people who purchase them, not to mention their children.
