If Microsoft ever started talking specifics, about any little thing, they would be dead. Completely and totally dead. There is no way they can engage the "community" on ANY specific topic without debasing, degrading themselves into the lowest of realms. Ain't gonna happen. Not now. Not ever. They can't. I wouldn't either. I wish them well, I really do. But the open source kernel has already taken over. Its just not common knowledge/press yet. Will be soon enough. It's already happened. Just the ripples need to go thru yet. I agree. But did you see Bill's lies from WinHEC... WinHOKE... they have sold 40 million licenses of Vista (78% Premium) in just 100 days! Sorry, but I almost puked--- what a liar. You know... everybody is buying it... you buy it too... the folks I know who have it removed it... and of course Mke Dell isn't even loading it... and every day you hear about 1 or two more entities dropping Windoze... so I'm not sure who these 40 million folks are... probably just licenses laying in a box... like at DELL computer . Anyway, the xorg/ati thing is really ticking me off! Totally! I like the open source, but it DOES have its drawbacks. Pain in the ass thing, the display being mostly dorked. But, the system, and daemons are running fine. No problem with the stuff running, just the display twisted. Solid core, flaky top. At least you don't need to re-boot! Right. But you know--- the ATI thing is just a carry-over from windoze days.... and ati admits it. And if you believe their hype they are going to be doing something about it. I wrote them a letter and told them that my X1050 would be the last card I buy from them unless they get serious about delivering an open driver with support and source. I'm done with them.
