Actually it was George who screamed it out at the end of the episode.
It was Kramer's line for the Woody Allen movie, but George screamed it out at the end.
Improved stability
Certain bugfixes
Hourly warnings that your system might be unprotected. Telling you to buy Vista, now!
@mxrz:
Damn Top Gear says otherwise, ... now i have to change my opinion. Make up your own mind instead of relying on others to do so, ... especially Top Gear. I love the show but hate the people who will jump when Clarkson tells them to.
@ all of you have don't agree with me:
Skoda might have a better brand image in the UK, Germany and some other countries. I live in Belgium and apparently we have the same opinion about Skoda as the Norwegians (cfr. Andrew).
I'm not a brand hater, fact to the matter is i just don't like how the cars look. And you have to admit the new Fabia is a very very poor Mini-copy.

Maybe the marketing department in some countries isn't doing what it is supposed to.
Sorry ... tabbed browsing gone bad :-)
It even appears Porsche had something to do in the development of this thing. Have a look at the bottom of the center console.
Well the Skoda brand has a very negative connotation in Europe. It's almost up there with Lada. That should give you an idea.

They did their absolute best to make it look as much as a Mini as possible. I've even seen several with a white or even a chequered roof and ditto mirrors.

The production model is ugly as hell. I had a look at one recently at the Belgian Auto Show in Brussels and they have a very poorly constructed interior.
But that seems to be the trend in a lot of new cars i noticed. Everything is plastic, they don't even try to make it look like something other than plastic nowadays.
Is it me or is this "article" poorly written? Some things sound very awkward when i read it, and the 3rd sentence has some very weird punctuation.

OT: I don't understand how you can not find Dell's and HP in workplaces. I see them all the time, at small and big businesses, schools, etc. Never seen a Viewsonic though (live in Europe).
@This Mike character:
Dude please buy one so you can get this friggin' jealousy out of your system.
After all it suits your needs perfectly. It surfs the internet quite well (buy an extension for your 3G needs) and posting on Engadget is really easy with it.
So it suits your dayjob perfectly.

Oh maybe you're a system admin of like this really big company, or you are some kind of developer or ... whatever job you trolls always seem to have.
Most of em don't use Vista either ... and they always use linux from time to time, or when not at work.

You guys should start a club. It 'll make my life a lot easier.
It's like the extreme right wing populists in politics, no one likes them, no one admits they vote on them in public but on message boards they're all over the place, their arguments are shallow, ... every stereotype know about them fits you perfectly.

Hmmm i wonder why.
Oh and if you interpret this as me calling you a right wing populist, then my assessment about your intelligence is perfect.
Our term of football is absolutely the correct one, just as some have already explained.
Bring your NFL guys over, no problem. Let's stack 'em up against our rugby boys ... without all the fancy padding. I've seen the superbowl one or two times ... i mean really??
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm looking for a pair of quality headphones that aren't seemingly made of glass. I'm an avid BMXer which causes me to frequently bash on any type of technology that joins me for my daily riding. I've been through the higher quality headsets in the Skullcandy line as these are supposed to be built for "abuse," which is laughable. I cant wear earbuds or canal buds, as my large ears seem to have a repelling property upon anything that sits in them. Wired or Bluetooth doesn't really matter, but I need something that can hold up to taking a few hits every now and again. I'm trying to keep 'em under $150. Thanks!"
