I almost had an orgasm when I heard they were finally dying.

Crapware? They were one step beyond crapware. I saw DOZENS of laptops that had Vongo pre-installed that would slow the system down and could never complete the installation of Vongo.

It was harder to remove in some cases than malware. I literally had to create images for some laptops that contained all the drivers/software to do a complete wipe of the OS to get rid of Vongo.

If there is a middle tier between crapware and malware it is called Vongo.]]>Aug 12th 2008 5:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/12/vongo-dies-very-few-notice/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/12/vongo-dies-very-few-notice/Aug 12th 2008 1:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/12/vongo-dies-very-few-notice/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/12/vongo-dies-very-few-notice/Interested in paying a monthly fee to be able to stream high-quality movies on demand? Absolutely.

If/when the major studios finally decide to give up and sign on with something like Netflix watch it now, I'll be the first to pay $10/month for something like that. But, so long as the services are hampered by poor selection and DRM that requires Windows, nobody's going to get anywhere. ]]>Aug 12th 2008 1:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/12/vongo-dies-very-few-notice/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/12/vongo-dies-very-few-notice/Aug 12th 2008 1:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/12/vongo-dies-very-few-notice/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/12/vongo-dies-very-few-notice/
Wow, way to think ahead. There are always these types of failures early in a new business model, and the technology to support this one is not really there yet. As higher bandwidth spreads, this type of video distribution will ultimately succeed.

It never put itself before others.
It would often go out of it's way to reach those who were in need.
It was also often a counselor when the times called for it.
I knew I could come to it no matter what the reason or circumstance.
I loved vongo with all my heart and will truly miss it.
