Windows Vista Released To Manufacturing

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the it's-a-wrap dept.

Many readers wrote in to make sure we know that Microsoft execs have signed off on the code and Windows Vista has been and released to manufacturing. As APC put it, "It's good to go — or as good as it is going to be until the first round of patching begins." CNN has a good roundup of Vista's long development history.

    I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced.

    Whistler and Blackcomb are the names of two mountains popular with the powderhounds, while nestled at the foot of Whistler is the Longhorn Saloon and Grill. Thus, Longhorn was considered a place where you stop, take a break and refresh after Whistler, before you tackle Blackcomb.

    If a "dopefiend" is somebody who smokes a lot of cannabis, is a "powderhound" someone who takes a lot of cocaine?

    Does this therefore mean that before tackling Whistler and Blackcomb, you need to out of your skull on drugs? With Longhorn being an intervening stop to take a sh*t and snort up another line?

    In which case, I fail to see what this has to do with the world's favourite operating system... oh wait...
