The WOW Starts Now. Just not on your iBook

The funny thing about marketing Vista with a stock photo of a MacBook is that these days the Mac could actually be running Vista. Too bad that's an iBook.

And that is why I will not shop at BestBuy, they don't know there stuff. They think Sony is an American product and Apple an Asian. After 3 years of trying everything my girlfriend finally switched over the the mac. All, it took was for me to install Vista about 3 months ago, she hated the experience so much that I told her I would buy her a new computer if she didn't like it. Well, yesterday she said enough is enough with Vista and she wanted her XP back, so we went to best buy and she wanted another Sony. To bad for her they had Vista on them, she cried and now she has a macbook and I even bought her a copy of Windows 2000, she is in love.

You think this is bad you should see the pink sketchers (i believe) advertisements that contain a girl holding a pink macbook. We have them in NH mall and they drive me nuts every time i walk by them. A pink macbook?!

It's a joke.

Many people working in graphic design only use macs... so it would be funny if they were able to make an ad with a old iBook in it, especially getting away with it.

Just like the Ikea catalog that had the dog boner photoshopped in, and countless others.

Paying closer attention to ads and you'll start to see these easter eggs more often.

here's my opinion from sort of a neutral point of view.. First time I used Vista, I was pretty impresse. It looked pretty good, better than xp i thought. but after working with it for a while, I realized that the eye candy was not that useful. (atleast for me). It does have some new features butter a couple of weeks of usage I went back to win XP. Still prefer XP over vista for simplicity and performance. (mind you my pc is not new).

Around the same time I bought a macbook. Again I was damn impressed. Everything seems to intergrate very well in the system. and it was pretty easy to use, with great performance. I was happy..

But at the moment, I think what is most impressive GUI wise is beryl on linux.. I've only been using it for like a month and I just love it.. It's the sweetest UI you can get in my opinion.. Then again they all does the same thing.. as far as they do what they are suppose to do, i'm happy..

All of em have they're own advantages. Personally I wouldn't buy vista because it's too expensive. And it hogs up resources. Even if I buy a new PC and get Vista pre installed, I would probably format it and put XP on.

Dontcha know? All the cool companies are doing that nowadays. But I think that a non-Microsoft person made that, as it doesn't show Flip3D, as all self-respecting Microsoft ads do.
