       Windows 7 is not a fix for Vista. I remember some people 
making that silly claim about MS charging for a fix.

       Windows 7 has sold greatly in the retail sales market. 
That means it was not sold with systems, people actually went 
out and bought Windows 7 of their own free will. How many copies 
of Snow Leopard were sold since its release? Windows 7 is a 
bigger market share than all versions of OS X combined already. 
Is OS X an dismal failure because it's only about 3%-5% of the 
worldwide OS market?

     What does this have to do with someone paying for Vista to 
get fixed? I seem to remember that when people didn't like 
features of Vista, MS didn't try to hide it. I also know that 
when Windows has a security issue, MS comes out with a fix and 
doesn't try to hide the fact. I know that when Apple decided to 
include a malware scanner in their OS, they tried to keep it a 
secret. Now with this antenna problem on the iPhone, they tried 
to hide it by saying it didn't exist. They actually took down 
threads about it on Apple's forums. This is very shady. To 
compound problems, it looks like Jobs knew of the problem before 
release but gave it the green light anyway. This could be 
leading to a drop in consumer confidence and could hurt Apple's 
profits. I don't think it will though because Apple has these 
idiot cultists that will defend Apple no matter what and buy 
anything Apple puts out. They won't even try it first.

     I'm going to see how Jobs addresses these issues. Will Jobs 
apologize? Will he offer free stuff? I hope he doesn't announce 
he's suing Consumer Reports and Whoopi Goldberg.
