You're right, I should have realized we won't have to wait for years for it. Microsoft certainly is in a bit of a hurry.
But since it's going to be a re-branding of Vista, why should anyone - especially HN - be excited about it?
It bothers me in general that hackers, 'morally enlightened' people, are excitedly discussing Microsoft, a morally corrupt company, and their offerings.
Remember that thing where Microsoft had bribed countries/companies to vote for OOXML to get it ratified by ISO?
- Maybe a month after that, it was like it never even happened. Hackers were talking about being interviewed by Microsoft, excited about a chance to work there, and so on..
