I bet it's good . . . and by "good" I mean "gut-wrenchingly bad."]]>Apr 16th 2008 1:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/16/microsoft-burns-our-eyes-with-vista-promo-video/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/16/microsoft-burns-our-eyes-with-vista-promo-video/Apr 16th 2008 1:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/16/microsoft-burns-our-eyes-with-vista-promo-video/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/16/microsoft-burns-our-eyes-with-vista-promo-video/Apr 16th 2008 1:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/16/microsoft-burns-our-eyes-with-vista-promo-video/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/16/microsoft-burns-our-eyes-with-vista-promo-video/Apr 16th 2008 1:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/16/microsoft-burns-our-eyes-with-vista-promo-video/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/16/microsoft-burns-our-eyes-with-vista-promo-video/Apr 16th 2008 1:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/16/microsoft-burns-our-eyes-with-vista-promo-video/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/16/microsoft-burns-our-eyes-with-vista-promo-video/
Or are you just trying to get your comments at the top of the Comments page by replying to my comment, even though you have nothing useful to say in regards to my dilemma?

I was hoping someone out there in Engadgetland would have a neat work-around to bypass a filter so I could actually see these videos that are always popping up.

You guys are useless. But I love you nonetheless.

by the sounds of things, mostly everyone here thinks its a commercial. well it isnt, its just a bloody internal promotional video, meant to be dumb ass and funny for their employees]]>Apr 16th 2008 2:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/16/microsoft-burns-our-eyes-with-vista-promo-video/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/16/microsoft-burns-our-eyes-with-vista-promo-video/
I never said this was going to be a TV promo - but even as an internal video it is an utter failure - much like Vista.

I don't hate MS - I use XP on two of my personal computers and my laptop. I have MS products installed on 95% of my systems from workstations, file servers, e-mail servers, web servers, ftp servers, database servers etc. I do however think Vista sucks - big moose - no matter what OS you put it on XP runs faster. XP runs more apps than vista. I can get more drivers for XP. I can boot my PC faster. I can shut down my PC faster. I can copy files to my primary drive, secondary drive and network MUCH MUCH FASTER.

I've actually run benchmarks - with Vista on several types of hardware 2 Gigs of memory, 2.6 Core 2 processors, 512mb video cards and 32mb cache hard drives with 500GB of storage.

Before you spew out the idiotic thing so many people say like SP1 fixes that or their was a fix out for that a while ago - THERE ARE NO FIXES. There are PATCHES - they don't get Vista to perform at the speed of XP. Anything Vista can do XP can do better so it is a crap OS - PERIOD.

And before you make some inane comment about DOS or 95 being faster - copy a file to the network using DOS or 95 - not faster than XP - yet VISTA IS SLOWER THAN ALL OF THEM. Try doing some video editing in DOS - NOPE? FASTER IN XP than VISTA.

Since I don't expect you to take my word for it - go to Vista and try googling VISTA XP Benchmarks - are all the people who ran the benchmarks "retards" too?

SO many people want to be Ballmer's pillow biter and defend Vista - try doing it with FACTS if you are so sure you are right. I've given a factual response - GOOGLE vista, XP and benchmarks

Or try GOOGLING vista and industry research companies such as gartner.]]>Apr 16th 2008 4:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/16/microsoft-burns-our-eyes-with-vista-promo-video/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/16/microsoft-burns-our-eyes-with-vista-promo-video/Apr 16th 2008 5:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/16/microsoft-burns-our-eyes-with-vista-promo-video/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/16/microsoft-burns-our-eyes-with-vista-promo-video/Apr 16th 2008 1:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/16/microsoft-burns-our-eyes-with-vista-promo-video/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/16/microsoft-burns-our-eyes-with-vista-promo-video/Apr 16th 2008 1:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/16/microsoft-burns-our-eyes-with-vista-promo-video/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/16/microsoft-burns-our-eyes-with-vista-promo-video/

They had Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant do a thing called "Office Values" just for Microsoft in the UK. It's absolutely hilarious:
