Dvorak on Microsoft Confusing the Market
DigitalDame2 writes "With news of there being 7 Vista editions, PC Magazine Columnist John C. Dvorak takes a hilarious spin on the different Vistas with some recommendations of his own. How about the Vista Porn Edition? All the great porn sites would be pre-bookmarked. Gamer Case-Mod Edition? It can be ultraoptimized for games with a blinking hard-drive light. You can even go as far as the Microsoft Vista for Costco Customers: the Cheaper Edition."
Very good analogy. It can be argued both ways though: In much the same way that we can predict that next year's pop bands will suck just as much as this years, we can safely assume that Windows Vista will suck just as much as the current version of Windows, albeit in new and interesting ways.

Seriously, is that his real name? Or did he change it for "Show Business"?
He must have changed it. My reasoning is that like most users of the Dvorak keyboard, he is an intermible, miserable asshole. I swear, you ever meet a user of a Dvorak keyboard? They're like the "kill your television" crowd. Blah, blah, "Dvorak is much more efficent. Normal keyboards were designed to keep the man down", blah, blah, "CNN? I don't even know what that is. Is it a TV show? Because I don't own a TV" blah, blah, blah. Like John Dvorak, everytime on opens their mouth, they say something grating and irating.
"Blue State" edition : It still screws up all the time, but instead of it being Microsoft's fault it's obviously George Bush's fault, because he hates your files almost as much as he hates black people.
All movements for social change begin as missions, evolve into businesses, and end up as rackets.
I like how I'm the only one in this thread who got modded down, regardless of the fact that 4 other people said almost the exact same thing...
