Longhorn = vaporware. I know of very few other companies who will sing praises of how amazing their new product will be for (at least) 4 YEARS before it is released. In fact, the only other thing that comes to mind at the moment is Duke Nukem Forever and at least in their case they're probably just stupid rather than counting on the hype to prevent competitors from overtaking them. This is nothing new for Microsoft though as I'm sure everyone's aware. Gotta make the consumer always feel like MS's "Next Best Thing (TM)" is just around the corner so they don't get tempted by the more advanced features of competitors products. Even so, I'm astonished that IE STILL won't have tabbed browsing. I wonder what they have against it.
Sorry for the mini-rant, and thanks for the post rubicon. It WAS amusing.
