      I see the testing of next generation automated comment generation software is well under way. Judging by "quality" of this comment, there is still a lot of bugs to fix.

    All 18 remaining users of Vista will be completely disappointed.

    Of course any machine capable or running Vista will run any random linux version so much better.
