So it’s been delayed in Japan because of unspec­i­fied issues (prob­a­bly to do with local­i­sa­tion) and Slash­dot com­ments are an absolute moron-fest. There are way too many peo­ple in there caught com­pletely by sur­prise by this thing, includ­ing one who iron­i­cally says “Thanks Red­mond” after IE7 broke their busi­ness’ online pay­ment system.

Why not just wear a t-shirt say­ing “I’m an ignoramus”?

Clearly, your busi­ness depends on it, clearly, it’s com­ing soon, clearly… you did noth­ing. Oh, yeah, that’s Redmond’s fault.

I’m really appre­ci­at­ing a lot that Microsoft are doing of late, so, with­out want­ing to sound like too much of a fan­boy, let me just remark that this per­son had it com­ing and any issues faced are entirely their own prob­lem and respon­si­bil­ity. Moron.
