Have just checked and found myself in 16 lists, mostly tech but some strange - like painters. Never could paint anything at all :(

Am I Not Geek Enough if I’m Happy with Vista? - http://profy.com/2009...
I dunno... I know that I've never had a significant problem with Vista. I'm even happier with Win7, of course, but I never understood all the Vista hate.
- Roger Benningfield
Roger, that's what I'm talking about - probably some people have had some huge problems but I'm not really sure everyone has so what's the point in all the public hate.
- Svetlana Gladkova
Nah - for a lot of people, Vista monkeyed things up (gamers) or was enough of a shift in security/ui/etc that it was difficult to handle. I used it at work, and liked it better than XP on most days. Really like Win 7 - it feels more polished.
- Jennifer Dittrich
Jennifer, I really have no doubts that Vista posed some difficulties to many but my point is that it should not be everyone actually - yet the hatred chorus seemed to be too well organized.
- Svetlana Gladkova
Oh, definitely agree on that - the tech press I think had a really high population of people that had problems with their own personal machines, and that translated to a lot of complaining. Once that idea took hold, you add in the Mac v PC ads, and the general public suddenly starts thinking it is the most horrible thing ever.
- Jennifer Dittrich
Yes, I guess the explanation is that geeks (i.e. tech press people) normally expect their machines to do more than a regular person needs and they also invariably try to crash everything - just to test. So everything combined we now have the results that we have.

Wondering how long it could take me to actually organize people I follow on Twitter into lists. Is it worth it?
Playing with Windows Live Writer - does not feel bad in general but as usual Russian is very misguiding (surprising from MSFT).

Hm, if all the news outlets begin reporting hacks of their websites as news, chances are this will be the only thing we read at all.

Hm, why is Bing Twitter "US only" if anyone can select US as the locale (with a convenient link available) - and it all works?
