[THIN] Re: Microsoft Ad

In general, Microsoft has moved away from being the evil empire and has been writing really good code for a long time now. Vista has compatability issues that may or may not be directly related to MS, but the bottom line is that a lot of thing don’t work well and when you are the ubiquitous OS in the world, regardless of the cause of frustration, it becomes your problem!!

Have to disagree. I run the business edition of Vista and explorer bombs on me almost daily. Yes, most issues are with drivers for 3rd party apps and that is a huge pain and a huge reason why everyone isn’t jumping on the bandwagon. However, while I won’t make a blanket statement echoing ‘vista works terrible’, I’ll instead say that for me, Vista doesn’t work so great.

Seinfied only got 10 million.   Remember my earlier post. It isn't Microsoft's fault, Vista works great.  It is 3rd party vendors who can't seem to writer their software properly to work on it.  Microsoft needs to spend that money to engage these vendors and teach them how to write their software to work on Vista. And the world would be a better place.

So this is what Microsoft came up with for their $300 million campaign starring Bill Gates and Jerry Seinfeld.  I kind of  wished they would have spend the money optimizing and fixing Vista.
