Microsoft Battles Vista Perception With Prizes

LambAndMint writes "In what can only be described as an act of utter desperation to overcome Vista's mostly negative public perception issues, Microsoft has put together an online "Fact or Fiction" quiz about Windows Vista. Every person who submits themselves to Microsoft indoctrination gets a free shirt and the chance to win a $15,000 prize. Some of the supposed 'facts' will make you feel like you're reading a document from an alternate reality. Get ready to get a job as a computer salesman for a mass-market retailer as you go through the quiz."

      I haven't "fed" Microsoft since Windows 98. I run pirated XP SP2 and only for games. My box is dual boot with Ubuntu.

            I downloaded Flight Simulator X the other day - what a piece of crap - over TWO FUCKING MINUTES staring at a splash screen to load the game, only to wait another minute or so to actually load the sim after you choose your settings. That on a AMD 64 Athlon X2 4200+ (dual core) with 2 GB of RAM. Glad I didn't pay $80 for that piece of shit (and yes I deleted it).

            Microsoft is failing harder every year. Good thing OO and Cedega are at a point where it's almost worthwhile to switch completely to linux for a gamer like me.
