William,
Your observation regarding the Postings within these Forums, is too
accurate.
There was a time that MVPs provided sincere and accurate technical
information, with all previous versions of Windows (does not include
Vista).
Today, these Vista Forums have evolved into little more than a bully-pit
for
many MVPs posting arrogant, malicious and hostile posts simply the result
from their gross lack of knowledge regarding Vista.
When the MVPs do not have a clue for properly and technically addressing
user Posts, too frequently they just make hostile retorts demonstrating
their
lack of knowledge regarding Vista.
The Vista OS is so different from all previous Microsoft OS the arrogance
displayed by many MVPs is not only insulting, their arrogance is entirely
disrespectful toward Microsoft’s integrity and reputation.
Seemingly, some MVPs, and others, make Post for simply encouraging the use
of non-Microsoft Products, and then advertize that using other OS and/or
browsers is superior to Microsoft Products.
When MVPs publicize how they use an OS that is not-Microsoft’s OS, perhaps
defines why they demonstrate such gross lack of knowledge of Vista,
BitLocker, DEP, EFS, IE 7, and Defender; achieving nothing other than
insulting Microsoft’s Integrity and Reputation.
