So many people have claimed that Vista stole their ideas that I don't care who's right. The whole "desktop war" thing is a waste of time, in my opinion... as someone elsewhere said, there's a reason they all look alike; It's the best way to do things.
My point was not about M$ stealing stuff from us. It was that we are that innovative test bed where things get designed and tested by geeks. I always took it as a big honor that M$ cared enough about what we were doing to come and get our programmers. Anywho...we are that group of Windows users that push the envelope.
I have always felt that not only the LS community was elitest, but it drew that elitest person in. Those are the people that can take things to the next level, those are the people that can understand. I really don't think that LS needs that 10 year old that can't program a VCR. Instead, we are those 10 year old kids that took it apart to find out why it had to be done in such a retarded manner.
