I am utterly baffled as to what "they" are thinking at Microsoft.  This is 
one time they have really flipped their collective lids.  Releasing SP6 was 
bad enough, but this "piece of work" they call VC4 is completely uncalled 
for.  To borrow a phrase from Prostestnik(sp) the Vogon, "Death's too good 
for them."
