It's not even out yet and pre-release hype is the one thing MS is good at..
Apart from selling vaporware and bait'n'switch products (DX10 and Flight Simulator X instantly spring to mind, if not Vista too...)

I lost most respect for MS with Vista...

Then I found out this comment from Steve Ballmer:

"?(taxing offshored profits) makes U.S. jobs more expensive,? Ballmer said in an interview. ?We?re better off taking lots of people and moving them out of the U.S. as opposed to keeping them inside the U.S.?"
(Source: Bloomberg)

The line doesn't even make sense; it's a gross non-sequitur. Does Ballmer even think before speaking, or is he just going to offshore more and more jobs so it doesn't matter what sort of waffle escapes his lips?
