Holy Vista Launch Blitz!
Tuesday, January 30, 2007

The Daily Show, the Dimitri Martin Special: Person, and the launch of clearification.com. Staring...well Dimitri Martin of course. Who also stared in the launch of an interesting plot based site: The Institute of Advanced Personhood. Looks like the Dharma Initiative from Lost if it were run by Microsoft. Kind of neat though, I'm going to explore more.

I have to say, I'm impressed by the marketing. If they spent as much time on the code as they did on the focus grouping, it might be brave new world for Microsoft and Gates both. I played with one of the betas and liked the look and feel, but was decidedly not impressed by driver support and hardware requirements. Don't get me started on the nannyware (Are you absolutely, positively, super-duper, triple-dog-dare sure that you want to install that?). But as Bill said on the show tonight, the beta is not the real deal.

I'm reserving judgement. If I see anything awesome, I'll let you know.
