clarity? is that bloody all?
well, my good friends at microsoft released the official name for Longhorn this morning. its official name is ' microsoft Winshit Windows Vista.' and the truly funny thing about this is the marketing slogan; 'bringing clarity to your world.' clarity. wow. i mean, that just bloody fits in nicely with the whole transparent browser windows and everything. because, we know thats one of Vista's big selling points, although i honestly dont see why.
taken from the microsoft Vista webpage:
"It enables a new level of confidence in your PC and in your ability to get the most out of it." my response: (yeah, so? any idiot can get the most out of their pc, and they *dont* have to use windows. i have had a great deal of confidence in my computer since day 1, and it hasnt failed me yet. even after the minor hard drive schism last month. it just gave me the opportunity to rework my pc from the ground up and install something better than windows XP.)
"It introduces clear ways to organize and use information the way you want to use it." my response: (i am one of maybe a hundred people on the planet who even remotely cares about organizing everything in my computer. seriously. the desktop layout on some of my friends' computers makes me sad.)
"It seamlessly connects you to information, people, and devices that help you get the most out of life." my response: (now correct me if im wrong, but isnt that called the internet? last time i checked, you didnt have to use windows to access the internet. nice try, bill.)
now, theyve also said that beta testing for Vista is going to start in about 2 weeks. im gonna do my best to snag a copy and see if there are any improvements over winxp. im willing to bet that they still wont be able to top Windows 2000 Pro, or the versatility of linux, for that matter. im not getting my hopes up.winshit windows is a lame-ass trademark of micro$oft. so sue me. they sue everyone else.
