Stop picking on Vista!

Why is everyone so hard on Vista?

Sure, it's overpriced. But MS worked hard for their monopoly, they should be allowed to reap the rewards.

Sure, its bloat slows it down: it's the same with all new software. But if you go out and buy a machine like mine (quad-core Q9550 with 4GB RAM) it's actually acceptable.

Sure, it doesn't add much in the way of functionality over XP. But the latter will be unsupported in a few years, wouldn't you rather have an OS with a future?

Sure, it takes a lot more work to keep it secure than so-called 'alternative' OSes. But those OSes don't run the best software, like IE7.

Sure, it has more bugs than what's left of the Amazon Jungle. But... erm... that is... damn.

I'm sorry. I can't keep defending this piece of crapware.

Let's all lynch the mother!

A sample of comments:

> another lazy parentwho didn't check and wants to blame others

> Who let their epileptic kids play video games.

> If she's too much of a fucking idiot to read the manual when her kid has epilepsy, that's her fault.

> Put the blame back where it should be - in the place of the damned fools daft enough to buy them in the first place.

> If there was something wrong with my kids brain then I wouldnt let them near the computer games

Is there some kind of lynch mob mentality going on here? It took me all of ten seconds research to see that the boy had no history of epilepsy before playing the game.

The mother was absolutely not at fault.
