"human arrogance after it was finished"
Meaning the captain and crew, and they are the users and not the
manufacturers.
Interesting comparison you use comparing Titanic and Vista.

"The titanic was a good ship"
Interesting as this also relates to your comparison.
Thus you conclude Vista is a good operating system.
Remember, it is your comparison.

"In the case of vista the arrogance was there from the beginning"
Just your opinion, and an opinion from someone using an example that if
anything proves you wrong since the titanic was "a good ship"

Vista = Titanic
A good operating system = "a good ship"
Your own words, not mine.

Hey Dumbass, stay the HELL away from this NG if you have nothing to contribute.
do you see any parallels? :-)
 
The Titanic probably would have survived the collision with the iceberg if it hit the iceberg head on rather than trying to turn to avoid it. By trying to turn it to avoid the iceberg, it just made the area of damage so much greater.

I certainly do. The Titanic was an incredibly well-engineered and vastly
complex piece of technology, just like Vista. It was state of the art for
its day, just like Vista. It was extremely well-protected, just like Vista,
and virtually unsinkable, just like Vista. In fact, if it hadn't have been
for a rare combination of natural forces with human stupidity, it would
likely never have sunk, just like Vista.

About the only difference I can see is that Bill Gates has never boasted
that even God could not crash Vista. And that's likely to be a helpful
difference.

Nor did other ships of that era hit an iceberg the way the Titanic did. Your lack of knowledge concerning the events of sinking of the Titanic show that you know nothing about which you are writing.

captain had heeded warnings and respected the capabilities and limitations
of the Titanic?

The titanic was a good ship, it was human arrogance after it was finished
that brought destruction. There are other ships of that era and of
comparable size and technology that did not sink.

In the case of vista the arrogance was there from the beginning and is still
continuing.
 
If the Titanic had hit an iceberg at full speed head on, it would have survived. Perhaps two of its watertight compartments would have be destroyed or damaged. The ship was designed to survive the loss of two (or even three) watertight compartments.

Nina DiBoy,

Your salutation quotation is similar to a statement from Steve Jobs; good
people create, great people steal.

Hi Firewall2

I guess we can draw the conclusion that Steve Jobs is a fan of Eliot.
:) Funny, that being said by a CEO of the company who is the formost
advocate of DRM, LOL!
