[...] “Microsoft ran into major bandwidth problems when they released the latest Beta of Windows 7 to the public. The company decided to delay the release while they added some more servers, citing “very heavy traffic”. If they had only used BitTorrent, this heavy traffic would have actually sped up distribution, instead of slowing it down.” – TorrentFreak.com (http://torrentfreak.com/windows-beta-7-rollout-fails-without-bittorrent-090110/) [...]

^ WTF? You're on a torrent site – we're from the future – we don't watch TV we download the episodes…

Microsoft have always blundered like this, look at the publicity just from this article. If people report that this new OS is _so_ popular that their servers are clogged, people will want to know what the fuss is about, am I right?

Hey, they underestimated demand for this…. it happens. Nothing they can do about that, in reality.

No 'personal product key' is necessary for Windows 7. There are a grand total of 5 keys for 32-bit and 5 for 64-bit, according to ZDNet.
This is actually what Microsoft should be doing: no 'personalized' keys for WIndows 7, just ONE small pool of keys.

Actually, I agree with Mark. THe fact is that Microsoft was not threatening these people with guns, they could have easily told Microsoft to stick it and if they didn't like it, they wouldn't put Microsoft OS's on ANY computers they sold thereby destroying Microsoft's OS share.

I talked about getting a key from Microsoft themselves, through the TechNet website. I wouldn't say that those are public nor shared, since you're needed to login to a website.

Could say the same about the fanboi browser – FireFox. Every feature is pretty much lifted from Opera. The only thing uniquely Mozilla are the hundreds of bugs (it's had more bugs than IE and Opera combined over the same timeframe) and the (very quickly swept under the carpet) official distribution of trojaned software (happened with mozilla in May 08).

It's time to move on; time to grow up. Time to put away the whining and temper tantrums of a child and live in the adult world of personal responsibility and accountability. When something sucks, it sucks, no matter how much you want it not to suck. Vista is great? The Zune is great? Windows 7 is great. Sure. You can piss in a tall glass with shaved ice and a bendy-straw, and you can call it lemonade, but I'm not drinking it.

Bottomer line: Just because there may be innocent people in jail, that doesn't make it right when Microsoft or anyone else breaks laws that are in place to protect free trade, all your dubious rationalizations and ridiculous reasoning notwithstanding.

I'm very much aware that there are thousands of people who lost much or all of their life savings investing in Microsoft. It comes across loudly and clearly, if only in the tremendous level of denial regarding Microsoft's considerable failures. It's not my problem that you people lost your shirts, hoping against hope that MSFT would return to the salad days of 20% returns on your investment. It also comes across in the anger and venom that MSFT investors demonstrate in forums such as this one: everyone else is wrong when they criticize obvious flaws in Microsoft products and in their business model and management decisions. We're all just Microsoft "haters" and "bashers." Right. So that makes a shitty product like Vista a great product because people with the ability to think critically don't like crap.

"The very fact that lately Microsoft has been losing market share to Apple because of the problems with Vista is evidence that Microsoft isn't–and can't, legally–use force to stop others from selling products."

Your statement doesn't make any sense. If you're saying that Apple's gaining market share at Microsoft's expense means that Microsoft cannot LEGALLY inhibit competetion, well, yeah, that's what the antitrust case was about. In effect, the antitrust case stemmed Microsoft's ability to stifle competition. The fact that this changed as a result of the ruling does not mean that Microsoft never engaged in the illegal practices for which they were prosecuted; the very illegal practices which gave them a huge and unfair advantage over everyone else who provided similar products and services.

Your bias is obvious; your logic is screwed up.
