    OK, so I agree, Things I hate about Microsoft will enrage the fanboys. Things Microsoft Won't Address doesn't work for me, tho. Does anyone have any suggestions. The idea is to post about bugs in MS frameworks, and workarounds. Ideas: Why I use a Mac Microsoft Bugs Broken Promises anything better ?

    I think your sig has the perfect title: "Driven to the arms of OSX by Vista" Seems to capture your experiences nicely. -- Ian

      I think the name is fine, screw the fanboys - you won't make them happy unless you refrain from criticizing, in which case... why bother? But i do have one suggestion... Right now, the style is a bit... bland. Try some nice bright text on a darker background maybe?

              No suggestions per se, but it might be worth bearing in mind that if it takes off then it'd be sensible to have a "sensible" name. If you have a name such as "I Hate Microsoft" then if when it becomes popular then you'll probably spend half your time dealing with people who dislike the name. Just my 2p

                              Well, if you are going to blog about what you hate about Microsoft, maybe you should make it a blog about all the things you hate if you have the space. Looking down your prior posts in the lounge there is seldom a month go by that you are not hating something or having a major battle with some technology. There are a vast array of things you can hate-blog about obviously rather than just looking as a Microsoft hater fanboy... Just some thoughts.. Title could be, "why I should have been a farmer".

                                Yeah, that's true. I will run out of MS stuff, and a general blog about things I hate, while being a bit broad as a result, would be easier to maintain.

This is an error. The engine can arrange and combine numerical quantities as if they were letters or any other general symbols; and it fact it might bring out its results in algebraical notation, were provisions made accordingly." Ada, Countess Lovelace, 1844
