pasitheaTired, so I'm watching a little TV and being bombarded by advertisements. Always likely to put me in a mood.
Anyhow. I'm really being struck by the Microsoft "I'm a PC" advertisements.
Let me see if I understand the premise... So... Microsoft finds some inbred rube and says, "We'll buy you a computer if you jabber inanely for a few minutes on camera"
... And somehow, bribing someone with a free computer equates to their OS not being a flaming pile of dog shit?
... I'm kinda confused. I mean... If you have to bribe someone to do your advertising, it seems like your product is full of fail.
But perhaps I'm merely basing my opinion on having used Windows. C'mon Microsoft, give me two grand to buy a computer. I'll get something way better than a stinking piece of crap Dell Boat Anchor and it won't even be a single-purpose machine. I'll be able to use it for just about anything.
