So M$ have announced Vienna - the follow up to Vista already! Cop these choice quotes from the bottom of the above linked article.
So what will be the coolest new feature in Vienna?
According to Fathi, that’s still being worked out. “We’re going to look at a fundamental piece of enabling technology. Maybe its hypervisors, I don’t know what it is,” he said. “Maybe it’s a new user interface paradigm for consumers.”
“It’s too early for me to talk about it,” he added. “But over the next few months I think you’re going to start hearing more and more.”
I think it’s soon enough for me to say that maybe you’re talking out of your ass Fathi.
Ballmer: “OK Fathi, my little corporate man-bitch, get out there and tell them some crapola about the “new” shit we’ve got coming OK? Lay some kinda funky Star Trek shit on their asses so that they think we’re gonna out-cool Apple, OK? I gotta stay busy here putting out fires with all of these crits panning the crap outta Vista.”
Personally, I think I’d prefer to spend a few hours staring directly at the midday sun, than trust my peepers to a (doctor evil voice + quotes fingers) ‘hyper-visorrrr’ running any code from M$.
I think maybe Ultravox said it best in the last lines of their classic song….
“This means nothing to me
This means nothing to me
Oh Vienna.”
My God since when did you become a polemicist for the Church of Jobs.? I think there must be some mind probe being broadcast directly from Jobs’ ass into all your Airports.
Dont forget to keep the faithful up to date on the latest overpriced proprietary attachment (in sleek minimal black, white or goatee) so they can beat off into a turtleneck sweater.
Guess Who
I’m no jobsian, but when Microsoft pulls out something this lame, even dedicated Atari 2600 users feel the need to flick the difficulty switch to “B”.
I don’t quite know what that means, but it sounds cool….
… and if I had to guess, I’d say - Steve Ballmer.
Thanks Steve. Thanks a lot.
