Incredible, isn't it?
It just shows you how they diverted resources from every nook and
cranny at Redmond, in a last ditch attempt to get Vista out the
door. Six years of stagnation, a veritable ghost-town, everywhere
except in the Vista Development Broom Cupboard, and the result
... a steaming pile of nagware.
Pretty sad really.
Then again, does anyone ever really expect Microsoft to understand,
let alone adhere to, standards ... much less do anything as prosaic as
actually dedicate resources towards that goal.
