Re: Demand That 'Microsoft Sell No Code Before Its Time'

Good for you.
Facts are against so you need to insult to prove your point.

Do you also advocate the same standards for all operating systems?
If you would read the article for the first time you referenced, you might
see the problem.

But since you are unwilling or possibly unable, here is an excerpt:
"The Committee to Fight Microsoft ("CTFM"), the first civil rights and
consumer action organization in cyberspace, will hold a San Francisco news
conference Tuesday, August 9th to announce that it has begun a campaign to
block Microsoft Corporation from releasing Windows Vista to the general
public unless and until Microsoft offers a general and unconditional
warranty to purchasers that the program does not include "bad code.""

You should read the posts.
The major problem is with "unconditional warranty" & "program does not
include "bad code.""
Do you know what an "unconditional warranty" is?
When have you provided such a warranty?
What software of any kind can provide such a warranty.
The posters are not so much defending Microsoft as they are pointing out the
stupidity of the article you seem to support.

Stick to what is relevant if you have the ability.
Your need to insult displays your own incompetence.
