This is absolutely the most embarrassing thing ever, maybe a joke, maybe not, what do you all think?

I think we should encourage them. At least they're creating something themselves instead of buying it from other companies. I think that's progress.

I like the fact that they are making themselves look terrible, but its so mind-bendingly bad, its hard to believe that its real

internal sales vids. $1,000,000
they've obviously been having trouble motivating there sales team
u by vista, that's where your money goes.


I am now firmly fixed in buying my new laptop sans Vista!

Actually, I've seen this monstrosity before. And the MS explaination for it was that it was an internal joke.

I would tend to agree with them. Vista is an internal joke.

Oh, sorry, they meant the video.

Hee hee :lolflag:

This is what happens when companies don't do random drug testing. Drugs are bad. Mkay.

Wow. I haven't even installed SP1 yet. I hardly ever use vista, and it would be funny if I only booted it to update it. Norton Antivirus is pissed because I haven't updated virus definitions in months.

In that case you'd find my laptop Hilarious, I do exactly that - I boot Windows to keep it up-to-date (I rarely need to use it for anything else).

Oh I boot Vista to stream video's to my Xbox, but that's it

Does SP1 give you any real advantages? I'm curious because I don't have Vista anymore. My laptop's completely Linux :).

It's a little quicker. And the search option has been removed from the start menu (not the search bar, that's a different entity entirely).

This song is pretty catchy. I'm surprised I don't see Ballmer dancing in the crowd

The video is as original as their product. They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, but were I Springsteen, I'd be insulted.
