Isn't this from osviews/ osopinion? Yes, it is. Didn't they have a
reviewer named Eugenia .. (something)? Pay no attention.. their
reviews were always not to be taken seriously. Slashdot loves to
post links to them. It's like throwing gasoline on a fire. What a
waste of time. IIRC there was a comment about that particular
reviewer that summed up the situation perfectly (and I paraphrase):
" .. she reviews operating systems and rates them by how many
windows could be opened up on the desktop after the first reboot .."
OTOH, you're probably right - deserves a strong response, just on
principle.
