Microsoft Thinks Windows Vista Sucks. Get in Line.
Microsofts lumbering hulk of a failure, Windows Vista, is no longer your only option when purchasing a new PC. Microsoft, finally smelling the technological wet one theyve dealt, agreed to let PC manufacturers offer XP as a downgraded OS to buyers.
The bad news is that this may be a limited-time-only deal. Still trying to push their aborted fetus of an OS as hard as they can, and citing a Windows Life-Cycle Policy, Microsoft have said theyre going to force manufacturers to stop offering the XP option after January 31st.
The worse news? It turns out if you paid for the Microsoft software bundle designed to downgrade your machine to XP, you totally got ripped off, since all Windows Vista user agreements entitle the buyer to a free downgrade anyway. Its actually a brilliant marketing strategy: sell us solid waste, then after weve eaten it offer to turn it back into a sandwich for forty bucks.
Its kind of like the whole New Coke fiasco, except that New Coke actually beat Coke Classic in blind taste tests, whereas if Windows Vista were a food, it would probably have a good amount of pig scrotum in it.
...Cracked Member...are you talking to yourself? Otherwise, I totally agree that Vista deserves to be shoved back into its metaphorical ass.

ReplyYou say 'if Windows Vista was a food, it would probably have a good amount of pig scrotum in it' as if it were a bad thing. There's nothing wrong with pig scrotum!
