The other 135 would be used by Microsoft for some ad they would push in your face.

Go get a sense of humor. Seriously dude or has lobbying for deployment of Verizon Fiber in Rochester made you too jaded. I know you are fighting the good fight. We want you to succeed in your efforts.. In the interim, laugh a little and enjoy the joke

You already have to reset clients like TweetDeck and Twirl once a day or they slowly eat your machine resources alive. I haven’t seen ONE blue tweet of death on any win7 machine I own and the vista machine Bluescreens were very rare. FailWhale on the other hand happens every other day. If you don’t use a client the web interface is down frequently.

Currently if twitter rolls out a new version you get it whether you want it or not. At least your MS vision would allow you to choose.

Perhaps if you actually used Bing you might not be so condescending towards it. Just a thought.

Twitter Home Basic ( only lets you follow three people, no re-tweets )
Twitter Home with Plus Pack ( lets you follow up to 99 people, no re-tweets )
Twitter Professional ( Follow up to 999 people, re-tweet only those who are also using Professional )
Twitter Ultimate ( Follow 9,999 people, re-tweet those with lesser versions. URLs count against 140 )
Twitter Ultimate Plus Pack Platinum ( Unlimited following, dedicated Intel hardware required )
Twitter Enterprise 2009 ( Packet sniffing of tweets, closed loop IP address only )
Twitter Enterprise 2010 ( No upgrade path from 2009 version. Requires re-negotiation of seat licensing )
