Economist I ' m an academic . <| sep |> however the US have about ten times as many flavours . That ' s because they also have about ten times fewer food safety regulations . <| sep |> its quiet but it doesnt matter cause its unusable with dooble kill <| sep |> Keep the green and send me the copper <| sep |> Hey ! You leave that man alone ! Nicholas Cage is a national treasure ! <| sep |> I have to say that you are part right and part wrong . Windows XP was a total piece of shit from a design point of view , but it pretty much worked in its outofthebox state . Its biggest problem was that ANY driver had the ability to bring the whole system down , and both display and sound card drivers were a huge piece of crap at the time , both of which every home user would install aka make the OS highly unstable . Windows Vista on the other hand , while it was clear break from all that XP clusterfuck , was not at all the same as Windows 7 . There were several subsystems planned for Windows new gen that were not completed in Windows Vista one of them , the display drivers . It was only in Windows 7 where most of the subsystems were actually complete . which makes Windows Vista more like Windows 7 Beta than a proper OS on itself . I think Windows Vista got released only because they were already behind schedule , not because it was working as intended .
