Bzzzt. This is a technical support newsgroup. It's not a place to rant
(fortunately, there are a couple hundred alt groups for that). MS has
already started murmuring that they may replace their usenet servers with
hideous web fora, which will be more prone to moderation & censorship.
Nobody wants that, I suspect. So let's keep it kosher.

Naturally, based on your own post, you're clearly aware that as you disliked
my post, your best course of action was to have simply ignored it.

Ross,

Remove Vista ASAP and install Windows XP. This should relieve the need to post
such a discussion topic. Post back if you require any assistance for installing
Windows XP Home, Professional , or Media Centre, especially if you wish to install
SP3 and Internet Explorer 7. Though it comes of no further assistance to you, XP's
superiority will be surpassed by, yet another Microsoft operating system.

Bzzzt, that's *your* definition. The sign on the door says "General"
which, to me, means anything about XP is on topic.

Take a gander at Vista General and you will realize that MS will replace
their Usenet servers with forums. MS already moderates and censors their
servers but they can't do a whole lot about other servers. With MS'
penchant for control, FUD and censorship, it's only a matter of time
before they nuke their Usenet servers.
