Get Ready for getting ready for Windows Vista!!
Ok, this is just silly. Microsoft has put up a page on the Windows Vista Web site that is meant to help laypeople (like me) “get ready” for the release of the long-awaited (and long-delayed) next incarnation of Windows. Here’s a snippet:
Getting ready for Windows Vista, available in early 2007, means choosing the edition that’s right for you and ensuring that you have the right PC to enjoy the experiences you want.
I mean, I’m all in favor of enjoying the experiences I want, but available in early 2007!? That could be January, it could be April. Why in god’s name would I bother getting ready for an operating system that might not be released until almost a year from now?
And then, here’s a nice touch: The Editions (
The five different editions of Windows Vista are designed to fit the way you intend to use your PC.
WTF? Forgive me if I have a little trouble deciding whether I want to buy Windows Vista Home Premium or just Windows Vista Home Basic. Oh wait, who gives a crap? It’s not coming out this year anyway.
Of course, my frustration is mitigated by the promising new features! Like Windows Vista Aero!
Windows Aero is an environment with an additional level of visual sophistication, one that is even more responsive and manageable, providing a further level of clarity and confidence to Windows users.
Yeah, clarity. As in see-through buttons!
Yay! Just what I’ve always wanted! I can already see my productivity sky-rocketing!
