Ah, I'm guessing that he's aiming such at VSI, not at you Jan-Erik ..

It's rather hard to judge the rants.  Many are valid.  However, I 
personally feel that some things should be left to software providers, 
and to not expect everything to be part of the OS distribution.  Of 
course, some might consider me biased, since my principal occupation for 
many years has been as a software provider.

Then again, some could say, "really Dave, you who rants about the lack 
of an image backup in WEENDOZE?"

(Sorry about the "WEENDOZE", well, just a little bit.)
