product placement where hp or whoever is providing the stuff put loving huge logos on the back of their monitors to try and draw attention to is is the most  thing. an admission that the brand isnt worth poo poo.

it was beautiful but had to die because the os lost half its ability to manage application windows if they could call it something other than windows they would, probably altria, like when phillp morris wanted to stop being phillip morris

i remember being in the windows phone seven series phone thread when linux archduke was here and it being the funniest thing but geez you string together something like five or six failed consumer hardware and software launches since then and it starts to seem a lot closer to sad than funny watching microsoft develop preview and launch a product is like watching someone jump into the water then realize they cant swim and finally drown. its such a drawn out process beginning with naiveté and hubris that when the inevitable finally happens i have more relief that its over than amusement at watching the experience but at no point do i wish it hadnt happened to them

i just installed windows 8.1 pro on a laptop now that computer is downloading and applying about 850 MB worth of patches. it's doing them all at once which is nice; i expected to have to do a reboot every 100 MB or so
