Jerry Seinfeld Will Plug Vista
Barence writes "Microsoft has signed up comedian Jerry Seinfeld to its $300 million Vista PR blitz, as it attempts to turn around the negative perception surrounding its operating system. Reports suggest Bill Gates will also appear in the ads, which, given the comedy timing he displayed in his 'Bill's Last Day' video, and the deadpan manner of Seinfeld, could result in a huge hit for the company." Reader Zarmanto notes in his journal that "Mac users might be quite amused, considering that (like many other TV shows) the set of Seinfeld always had a Macintosh prominently displayed in the background."

They need some more help to get a viable Windows alternative out there.
If this project succeeds then we don't need to worry about xp or vista anymore.
This open source project is one of the most important to topple Microsoft. Google should put some help & money into it too.

When ReactOS becomes needed. Right now we don't need a Windows clone. We need to move away from open source software is a cheap knockoff of Windows and Mac. We need our own identity. Linux gives us an identity other than Windows.

Ugh.
Gotta call horseshit on that one. I never hear PC users start stupid, adolescent arguments about their fanboy-love for their systems with me if I mention the reasons a Mac is nice. But boy do I get to hear from every arrogant, self-righteous prick with a latte and a Mac about how bad my PC sucks and how much their Mac rocks. WITHOUT mentioning something that a PC happens to do well.
Funny part is, it's never documented technical merit they rant on; it's always the same old zealous, uneducated, damn near religious Apple fanatic douchebaggery. There's two reasons I don't own an Apple right now, and both are equally important:
1) They don't make a 13.3" Macbook Pro. I want 4GB of RAM in a laptop, not the 2.5GB limit of the regular Macbook.
2) Man, fuck being associated with their typical users. Seriously. I like the build quality of their laptops and all, but I don't think the stigma is worth it.
Isn't Bill's Last Day pretty much just a clone of Clinton's Final Days?
