According to VG this video is an official Microsoft movie ment for internal use, that some how ended up at Youtube.

Something tells me that MS should get rid of their sales department cause the torture my ears were put under during the playback of the video makes the way over to only using MacOS X at home, so, so tempting! This was so amazingly dull compared to Apple’s set of Apple vs Windows commercials, that I can only conclude with “Get a Mac!”

And yes, I almost forgot: Windows is so 80s …

Building a PC is not for everyone!

As I mentioned the other day, I just bought a new PC in parts. I have always preferred to build them myself to better understand how they are built up. This time I wasn’t to lucky.I ran in to two problems:

  1. Defect cabinet. Now how is that possible? Well, turns out that the power-button isn’t working. And how did I find out, I bought a Foxconn motherboard with power and reset button on the motherboard!
  2. Memory error. Now that is also not something for the common enduser. And my lesson to learn here is not to always blame Vista for every possible error that could appear. My machine was amazingly unstable, crashing as soon as I did something with it, within 5-10 minutes I would have a complete freeze of the system. Today I brought the machine with me to work and tried to install XP with no particular better luck. It kept freezing no matter what. Unpacked two new HP machines and grabbed their memory, and I have now been running the machine without a crash for 2,5 hours.

This brings me over to something else, Windows Vista comes with 30 days testing before you have to register the product. Use the 30 days, check your hardware in every possible way. If all works and you are satisfied with the machine, then register.
