$100 Million Marketing Push For Vista
GecKo213 writes "Microsoft is touting a $100 million marketing campaign promoting Windows Vista and encouraging software developers to build new programs. With the longest gap ever between major releases of Windows operating systems -- the current version, Windows XP, was launched in late 2001 -- Microsoft is facing pressure from its partners and developers to deliver technology that will convince users to upgrade. If $100 Million dollars won't make you want to switch to Vista, what will?"

Actually, $100 Million would be enough to convince me to switch to Vista.
Unfortunately, I presume that the whole $100 Million won't be available to just me.

You'd think that with $100 Million they could have come up with a better code name!

MS is one step ahead of you. They ship brand new OSes with lots of holes in them.
My other car is first.
They don't to spend $100,000,000 to get me on board.... I've already disabled all my antivirus and antispyware, and my computer is still too fast for my software.
Leave it to MS to give me an excuse to upgrade... they've succeeded where countless other viruses and worms have not!

No DRM, no trying to control my computer, faster reboots and fewer reasons to need to. More control with less complications. Interoperability. Open standards. The ability to use software my way.
Shit, I just described Linux. Never mind.
