@James: Yea I know It’s really not nice. That was the reason I asked for coder help in my blog. I now have found someone who pretty much rewrites it. The problem should be gone then.

buzz on KDE is great, but there is a script on buzz.kde.org causing firefox to consume heaps of CPU making the site unusable. Looks to be jquery from the Google API, according to the alert box. Maybe it should be upgraded to the latest version of jquery?
Surprised that this passed testing ?

Microsoft after watching millions leveraging social media to promote their products,decided to do that their good old Microsoft way.I agree with you,that its biased because even if you invent a time machine there would be at least 10% of the people who would dislike it.Windows 7 is no time machine its just a fix for Vista.In the end all consumers are never happy which makes the vendor unhappy coaxing him to resort to such unfair means.
Btw these screenshots confirm your point:

It is very clear to see what Lydia pointed out with this blog entry. And I can not see it negative way, just as a question why Microsoft is doing it if they market their own service as “What people is speaking of Windows 7″.

Of course PR section forced that there should be only a few negative comments because otherwise they can be show to be falsefying results right away even by most blinded fan.

But hey, if we want to see our bad sides, bugs, mistakes etc. We can always point out people to the bugs.kde.org or the distributors own lists. There is everything where we can draw even graphs to show the existing problems and resolves.
We are open and we do not even try to hide that we are not perfect and good.

The MS is hiding the real opinions of Windows 7 users on it’s service and saying it is even realtime.

And if someone calls what Lydia wrote as conspiracy, have not even readed the text itself and the proofs. What even anyone can do themself by just comparing MS service site and suggested social sites. That is not conspiracy if anyone can notice that MS is faking… that is just a fact. Conspiracy is saying that we are on the mission to make MS look bad by falsefying the facts. But anyone can go there and check themself the functionality and notice the thing how it really is and told here.

No Eice, I told you the discussion is pointless with you since you refuse to read what I reply and therefor the discussion is over. You don’t seem to understand it. Deal with the consequences.

For a blog post that started off with accusations of conspiracy of how Microsoft is filtering out unfavorable tweets from its social page, you seem to have resorted to a most classic display of hypocrisy by censoring and deleting my replies to your posts.

Pathetic.

@Eice: It’s what the Microsoft page makes us believe. And I never said that it does or does not represent the whole population. I just compared the actual Twitter page with the selection of messages they show from there.
You’re obviously not reading what I am writing so we’ll stop that discussion now. Thank you.

@EICE: Nope, I don’t believe his trying to do that, I think he just want you to all see that asuming the oppposite reaction (a negative one) is absolutely ilogical too, not only it’s falacy per se, also it seems like people is very happy with Windows 7, even “techies” like it.

Do you actually expect us to believe they’re supposed to represent a sample set that accurately reflects the overall population?
