it's a miracle that they were actually able to take that buggy horrible code
and streamline it enough to make windows7 actually usable!

Of course it needed more effort and man hours that building the great
pyramid

but they were under the whip of Balmer...

down with all you in it!"

Don't know about propaganda, but I posted THREE responses to the same post
with a website containing a solution to a question on whether it was
possible to install an Upgrade version of Windows 7 without a qualifying
version of Windows being present and ALL THREE were deleted arbitrarily by a
certain "MVP" "Moderator"....

Seems that "solution" would be implicitly promoting a violation of the
licensing agreement. I don't think that constitutes "arbitrary", does it?

People are going to be shocked at how much will be deleted in the forums.

So it may . That's a very grey area. Surely it was firstly up to the Op to
use his/her conscience, and secondly, but most importantly the "mvp
moderator" should have posted REASONS why it possibly violated the licensing
agreement - and not just arbitrarily delete posts.....
