...fair enough, sounds a good strategy to me. I'm no MS hater (although 
Vista does make me want to scream) but they just seem to get it that 
little bit wrong all the time.

Take for instance their advert in the latest .Net (page 97). For those 
of you who don't have a copy it is basically a rendered geek (sporting a 
tie, ID badge and some sort of eDevice clipped onto his belt) chasing a 
dragon (oh er?) with a sword. Is that what they think we look like for 
chrissakes?

...hopeless
