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."
Clearly this is simply meaning that Vista has stolen enough ideas from OS X to make even a make user endorse it.
Taxation is legalized theft, no more, no less.
That said I expect Vista to be just like XP. XP took way too many resources to work. I remember how 2000 beat its pants off, sp2 or sp3 will be released, people will use it, and then they'll move on to 7.
Only after a year and a half of posting, "Windows 7 sucks so hard! I have Vista, and it works just fine! Why would anybody need any of the new stuff in Windows 7?" on Slashdot.
