Anyone who thought that Longhorn would really be released in 2003 is
either an idiot or an anti-MS fanboy creating unrealistic expectations

typical OSX 0.1 incremental upgrade, and even those take 12-18 months
to be released).

So you admit that Microsoft lied. Good, you are on your way to recovery.

In the same way that Apple lied about Copland, Gershwin, Rhapsody, etc.

Are you that stupid? That was a rhetorical question.

Your little buddy Supper Spinner (how fitting) just claimed that
Microsoft lied - deal with it.

I never claimed that. Microsoft (supposedly, I don't recall their
roadmap, myself) set out a goal that they faild to meet, and anyone who
thought that they would/could release Longhorn in 2003, just 18 months
after XP was released is an idiot (including Microsoft themselves).

No honey, you said "Anyone who thought that Longhorn would really be
released in 2003 is either an idiot or an anti-MS fanboy creating
unrealistic expectations so as to bash MS." Creating unrealistic
expectations is to lie. Who lied? Microsoft.
