Nah. Keep up the bashing. lol If they built space stations, for example, 
you could be sure to suffocate, freeze, or get sucked out a 
malfunctioning airlock, while fully satisfied that the "experience" was 
the best you had ever had. Seriously, if Vista taught us anything, its 
that MS' *only* experience is in user experience, and that trying to do 
"technical" correctly makes for some very *bad* interface decisions on 
their part, such that you both get sucked out the airlock, and have to 
look at the peeled paint on the way out. ;)
