Comment on Windows 7's milestones to nowhereparent

Expect more comments like the GP on the back of reports like this:

    The global information and communications technology 
    industry accounts for approximately 2 percent of 
    global carbon dioxide emissions, a figure equivalent to
    aviation, according to a new estimate by Gartner, Inc.
despite software itself being accountable for only a small portion of that 2%.

I don't find that report the least bit surprising. I would only expect that figure to increase. But it's completely ludicrous for anyone to suggest that it's the result of bloated operating systems. I'm not surprised I was modded down given my tone, but I don't why on earth anyone modded up the GP.
