    Fer f*ck's sake, man-up and take your verbal drubbing. You'll be a much better person for it, and you won't be annoying the allegedly abusive grownups. This message brought to you by ButtHurtenol. Take two capsules in the morning and SHUT THE F*CK UP!

      Try getting 10 people to agree with you and you can have John's account removed. Good luck with that.

      Actually, even if he got 10 people to agree, I don't think it woud happen unless the majority of those 10 people "higher ups", and then Chris reviewed it. I'm not bragging or anything, I'm just stating what I see as the obvious. :) I should start paying more attention to the threads in which I participate. I have a feeling that I'm missing a lot of prime opportunities to be abusive.

        So Microsoft is lying as well? Let me guess; when let out of the basement and not taking your medication, you walk around with tin foil hat. You are a loon. (In response to other assertions; Windows Vista & Server 2008 had the internal version number of 6.0. What is called Windows 8.1 has the internal version number of 6.3. It doesn't really matter. Microsoft could call the next major version, Windows Elephant and yet people will still refer to it as Windows 9. In the meantime, go back on your medication.)

                      No, abusive would telling you that you're a mindless tick of a human with ragingly inappropriate mastabatory fantasies regarding an operating system that is widely regarded in pretty much every IT circle as being a steaming pile of shit. But that's not what I said.

                          Oh I didn't say any version of Windows was a failure. YOU DID. All I said was Microsoft has in the past abandonded a ton of copies of Windows on store shelves to release the next version, regardless of the reason they did it. Thank you for demonstrating my point.

                          So you admit this wasn't you "out as fast as possible to get rid of Vista because everyone (except you probably) hated it, leaving all those copies of Vista on the shelf to be wasted." And no I said by that logic Windows 7 was a failure, or do you not understand what you said.

                              So what? In either case in order to sue them you have to be able to demonstrate irreperable harm to your company by the release of the next version of Windows. Frankly, if that is the case, you actually screwed yourself because you didn't take this well-known possibility into account in your own business model.

                                You're the only one who gives a crap what the marketing name is. No matter what MS Marketing calls the next major version of Windows, we all refer to it as "Windows 9", just as if it was a project name.

                                    "windows 9" is generally understood by everyone except, perhaps, you, to refer to the next major release of Windows. It's internal version will presumably be 6.3 It may be called Windows 9 or it may be called Fred - whatever, i'ts easier to say "Windows 9" than "The next major release of Windows regardless as to what it's called"

                                    Only self proclaimed computer experts are saying Windows 9. Windows 8.1 was the next major release of windows after windows 8 and they are purposely not saying windows 9 they are saying the next major release of windows, I wonder why!!!

                                      I'm not entirely sure what your point was tbh. I'm sure there will be another major release of Windows on the horizon. What it'll be called, I'm not sure. I think Windows 9 is sort of the generic term for it right now :)

                                        Sorry Vista (2006) to Windows 7 (2009) was 3 years like Windows 7 (2009) to Windows 8 (2012) I knew they were the same time frame just didn't remember how long. But still proves my point dick.

                                          So you admit this wasn't you "out as fast as possible to get rid of Vista because everyone (except you probably) hated it, leaving all those copies of Vista on the shelf to be wasted." And no I said by that logic Windows 7 was a failure, or do you not understand what you said.

                                          Oh I understand perfectly. Where in that quoted statement did I say that "Vista was a failure"? Yeah, it got to 20% share. What did XP have at the time?
