Extend XP? Ballmer says "screw you.."

Microsoft: XP Extension Is Not Happening
Remember that little bit from Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer, in which he noted
that his company would do the customer-centric thing and extend Windows XP's
life cycle if there was enough demand? Yeah, well it turns out that was just
a joke. Microsoft returned to its iron curtain ways today with the following
statement issued in the wake of XP-Gate: "Our plan for Windows XP
availability is unchanged," a Microsoft spokesperson said. "We're confident
that's the right thing to do based on the feedback we've heard from our
customers and partners." Well. There you go.

Well, obviously there wasn't enough feedback generated by the buying public.

How can it be a joke if there was not enough feedback from the gp
wanting to keep XP alive, huh?

Maybe you should study this passage from the book of john: In His Love for
people, Jesus said John, why do you commit sins against man? You were made
for woman but you choose Sheep (John 65-32). The Sheep goes into town with
shame upon it's face, knowing that he was had by john, the Vista hating
moron.

I predict that there will be hundreds if not thousands of people trying to
convince people to use that crippled OS TOY they call Ubuntu.

Frank you damn fool, there is no way for the general public to give
Stevie boy direct feedback on Vista or anything else for all the good
it would do if there was a way, because it is obvious he's not the
kind of CEO that listens to customers.

I'm extending my middle finger of my right hand up in the air. I hope
if he reads this he'll get it's message. If not, Frank, you explain it
to him since I'm sure you've been on the receiving end of the salute
countless times you being a world class buffoon.

my question was "who's turn is it to play third grade netcop?"
...but I see you already answered the question by volunteering.
