They don't use rubber hoses anymore, they switched to party balloon animals
last year.

Have you ever actually met any employees?

They are far from "arrogant snobs".

Some of them are the nicely people I have ever met.

Yea, when you are in bed with Microsoft folk you would think that way

I worked there are I know some who are actually very nice, but as a company,
Microsoft is arrogant, and they can get away with almost anything they want.

HERE COMES THE FLAMES.

You can't extrapolate that an OS is flawed by the number of posts on a
newsgroup. Over time you could compile statistics about the number of users
of an OS and the number of users experiencing a certain problem. You would
then have to figure out is this was an actual bug or a problem with the UI
and the users couldn't figure out how to so something. I'm not saying there
aren't bugs in Vista. Of course there are. I'm not saying there isn't a
fundamental flaw somewhere in Vista. It's far to early to tell that.
Statistics is part science and part the art of interpreting data to
extrapolate results. Anecdotal evidence is ignored by most knowledgeable
people. Saying that "is it not about time that microsoft admitted that it
has seriously screwed up on vista" and offering nothing but anecdotal
evidence to back it up is misleading and wrong. Using anecdotal evidence you
can make almost any argument you want. I was trying to point that out with
the examples I stated. I don't believe them either. They were examples of
how similar anecdotal evidence can be used to counter the original argument.
It looks like this may have been over your head.
