Windows Vista Leaks ... Again!

Posted by samzenpus on from the look-at-it-now dept.

This latest build includes some major revamping of Windows Media Player, including a smart interface. Also, IE 7 now sports tabs a la Firefox, under the address bar. Are these leaks accidental, or is Microsoft actually trying to pull a 360?"

    Pardon me, sir. I have an idea. Corporal, get me the video cassette of Spaceballs-the Movie.
    CORPORAL Yes, sir.
    CORPORAL walks to a wall labeled, "Mr. Rental." The wall opens. He looks through the selections.
    DARK HELMET
    Colonel Sandurz, may I speak with you, please?
    COL SANDURZ
    Yes, sir.
    DARK HELMET
    (lifts up mask) How could there be a cassette of Spaceballs-the Movie. We're still in the middle of making it.
    COL SANDURZ
    That's true, sir, but there's been a new breakthrough in home-video marketing.
    DARK HELMET
    There has?
    COL SANDURZ
    Yes. Instant cassettes. They're out in stores before the movie is finished.
    DARK HELMET
    Naaaaa.
    CORPORAL Here it is, sir. Spaceballs.
    COL SANDURZ
    Good work, Corporal. Punch it up.
    CORPORAL starts the tape. It starts on the FBI Warning.
    COL SANDURZ
    Started much too early. Prepare to fast-forward.
    CORPORAL Preparing to fast-forward.
    COL SANDURZ
    Fast-forward.
    CORPORAL Fast-forwarding, sir.
    Starts fast-forwarding through the ludicrous speed scene. Helmet is thrown into the panel at a high-speed.
    DARK HELMET
    Nnnnno. Go past this, past this part. In fact, never play this again.
    COL SANDURZ
    Try here. Stop.
    The movie stops at the exact same thing that is actually happening now. DARK HELMET looks at the camera, then he turns back to the monitor. COL SANDURZ
    looks at the camera when DARK HELMET looks back at the monitor, then he looks back at the monitor. DARK HELMET looks at the camera when COL SANDURZ looks back at the monitor. When DARK HELMET turns back, he waves his hand. He turns back to the camera.
    DARK HELMET
    What the hell am I looking at? When does this happen in the movie?
    COL SANDURZ
    Now. You're looking at now, sir. Everything that happens now, is happening now.
