As a matter of fact, these threads nearly always start out discussing a new or improved feature of a Mac with hardly a reference to the other side of the street...

Did you actually read this thread? Perhaps you'd care to revise your in light of the first real comment here, post #5. For crying out loud, the first post out of the gate was a MacMoonie slamming on someone else.

Actually, general_re, I didn't see post #5 as a "MacMoonie" slamming someone else as much as making an arguable statement.

Where was the slam in the comment "hundreds of thousands of mac users showing off the future of Windows"?

You may not agree, but most unbiased technology people will agree that there are at least some features of the new Mac OS that will not be available until some future release of Windows (Searchlight, for one single example)

Granted, it can be argued there are features in XP that are unavailable in OS X, and vice versa, but if there is at least one factor that is true in post #5, then the person who made it at least had a leg to stand on.

You're talking about this one, right? -- "This Monday, Bill shows off the future of Windows. Next week, hundreds of thousands of Mac Users will show off the future of Windows."

This is hardly a slam. More like a little jab. And if you ask me, it really isn't even that. It looks like fair comment to me. The comment is meant to say that Windows Longhorn, when it arrives, will have borrowed heavily from the Mac OS.

Do you really doubt that?

And by the way, the post you complained about didn't use perjorative expressions like "MacMoonie". The kind of crap I'm complaining about is the kind of crap you are guilty of.

Therein lies the problem. You see you candyasses get a little "chiding," and you immediately go straight to "demeaning." If you call #5 slamming, I suppose calling you a candyass is attempted murder.
