Shame.  95% of their customers could have told them that before the launch.
That's the really hilarious part of this whole debacle, they completely ignored the public outcry over this in the - what, year and a half leading up to release? - and it's taken them another half a year and adoption rates just over half of Vista's to finally get it through their heads that even a $1.5 BILLION advertising budget can't force people to like the New Way...and that's assuming that that rumor is even true...

Idiots.
