I guess removing Newsgroup support would surpass that! And also
not supporting IE9 on Windows XP would give rivals an excellent
opportunity to catch up!

The 21st century most certainly doesn't comprise the sum totat of time, even
in technological terms.

it's a miracle that they were actually able to take that buggy horrible code
and streamline it enough to make windows7 actually usable!

Of course it needed more effort and man hours that building the great
pyramid

but they were under the whip of Balmer...

"Code slaves, Code!!!!! sound of whip lashing... or microsoft is going
down with all you in it!"

Why less spam and easier to find....... ?


Well for one thing Google indexes it with its web search, so now you won't
need to know about Google Groups to search archived threads.


What do they mean by a "clean space" ?


It's expected to be more moderated than MS newsgroups were.

Please cite an example of Microsoft censoring a post in the forums for
propaganda reasons.

Don't know about propaganda, but I posted THREE responses to the same post
with a website containing a solution to a question on whether it was
possible to install an Upgrade version of Windows 7 without a qualifying
version of Windows being present and ALL THREE were deleted arbitrarily by a
certain "MVP" "Moderator"....

Seems that "solution" would be implicitly promoting a violation of the
licensing agreement. I don't think that constitutes "arbitrary", does it?

People are going to be shocked at how much will be deleted in the forums.

So it may . That's a very grey area. Surely it was firstly up to the Op to
use his/her conscience, and secondly, but most importantly the "mvp
moderator" should have posted REASONS why it possibly violated the licensing
agreement - and not just arbitrarily delete posts.....
