"hyp⋅o⋅crite  [hip-uh-krit]
–noun
1. a person who pretends to have virtues, moral or religious beliefs, principles, etc., that he or she does not actually possess, esp. a person whose actions belie stated beliefs.
2. a person who feigns some desirable or publicly approved attitude, esp. one whose private life, opinions, or statements belie his or her public statements."

Assuming an assumption isn't hypocritical. In fact, if you do not assume it, it is not an assumption.

@Coyote8: Firstly, I'm entitled to my opinion; whether you agree with it or not is entirely up to you. Secondly, you and you're customers are most likely a tiny portion of all Vista users, if it works for you great - doesn't mean it works or suits everyone. Thirdly, I don' think it's a shiner XP - assuming an assumption is very hypocritical.

The fact that after 2 and a half years of it's release it's to be replaced by Windows7 later this year kind of speaks for itself.

My sincerest apologies to the other users who perhaps felt this comment was unnecessary.

@ SphynxNHS: I don't know what you're talking about, vista works great for me and my customers. You just need to spend more than five second trying to learn the system, and lose the assumption that it is just a shinier WXP

"Obviously we'll need to delay our launch"... because it won't sell well and will irrevocably damage our brand.
"Obviously we'll need to delay our launch"... because it opens our company up to significant liability.
"Obviously we'll need to delay our launch"... for the public good.

These are all equivalent statements.

Fundamentally, capitalists (business) only succeed by providing customers with something they want and/or need (at the commensurate price point).

Communism/socialism "succeed" by telling the populace what they need (to live without - e.g. good medicine, bread).
