I read it all, buddy boy
"i wasn't suggesting anything.."

Sure you were. Implications are suggestions, aren't they?

"that deploying this tech was "merely" (by the way if you can find that word in my post please let me know since you quoted me)"

I never quoted anything. Please take further note of the extensibility of punctuating in a language. Placing quotes around words is just one of its applications. I could also place quotes around words without directly referencing what came from your mouth (or typing fingers) when I might want to rephrase what you were obviously implying. So I might say that someone was "sober" without needing to hear those words from that person's mouth.

"I was explaining where i though MS has fallen down in explaining and marketing thier product."

Actually, you were implying that you were dumbfounded why the public wan't more bent on this latest needless "stack" was required from M$. And the answer is obviously that most businesses have other plans..plans which don't include the bottom line of the monopolist Microsoft.

"Nice little rant though I am sure Xunil_Sierutuf and the rest of the linux fan boys..

I don't use linux. Where did you get this from??..

"Are you really as stupid as the charecter your handle is named after or just a lame @$$ unemployed/unemployable troll?"

Couldn't tell you, dude..too busy falling outta my smoke-filled van on to me skateboard. Since you are sure that I am a "linux fan boy" (take note how you did say this in your post and yet I can quote it with perfect literary accuracy), why don't you bestow it upon all of us?..
