Rumor has it, an already steamed Graadl was finally able to connect to the internet and shortly before throwing his computer out the window, he saw this on the front page of Google News:

Nevertheless, I'm surprised to see the lot of you overreact to such a comment.

Is it too early? Is it just not funny? Did I strike the fan boys' nerves?

Good.

And no, your joke wasn't funny.

I leave you with this: Why the fuck would a German read Fox News?

I have problems with it on a daily basis, and oddly enough about half of them are web browsing related, one of the simplest things MS should be able to get running.
I can barely run games from 3 or 4 years ago, with a decent graphics card.

So, i'm not sure what sort of mammoth machine you have, but vista needs a hell of alot more work... and when thats done, it should be great... but right now i wish i could switch to XP.]]>Jul 18th 2007 9:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/18/discomfited-german-hurls-pc-from-window-police-sympathize/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/18/discomfited-german-hurls-pc-from-window-police-sympathize/

ready to run Vista only means that it can run it, not run anything else.

You must ensure the machine has much more than the minimum requirements or else you only have a machine that can run Vista.]]>Jul 18th 2007 12:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/18/discomfited-german-hurls-pc-from-window-police-sympathize/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/18/discomfited-german-hurls-pc-from-window-police-sympathize/

Engadget's writers use a lot of old-fashioned colloquialisms often without understanding their meanings, not to mention misspelling them like "wet one's appetite." (Should be "whet," meaning "to sharpen.") If you're gonna use a colloquialism, please check it in the dictionary first. You don't have to admit using one to us, just use it!

It's a minor complaint, but I'd hope that the folks writing a technology blog have generally higher SAT vocabulary scores than the average Joe.]]>Jul 18th 2007 9:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/18/discomfited-german-hurls-pc-from-window-police-sympathize/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/18/discomfited-german-hurls-pc-from-window-police-sympathize/Jul 18th 2007 11:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/18/discomfited-german-hurls-pc-from-window-police-sympathize/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/18/discomfited-german-hurls-pc-from-window-police-sympathize/Jul 18th 2007 1:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/18/discomfited-german-hurls-pc-from-window-police-sympathize/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/18/discomfited-german-hurls-pc-from-window-police-sympathize/
But seriously, if you just have a high-end/mid-range PC, good anti-virus program, and high-speed internet connection, you're really set. Plus knowing what you're doing help.

I use a Sony Vaio with Vista on it. Windows Live OneCare as my AV. And I have a cable modem. Guess what?
