Painting A Day [Going After Vista]
,----[ Quote ]
| Windows Vista is here!!!!! Wow! Im so excited! Prague has recently been
| taken over by a blitz of advertising telling everyone to say "wow"
| about the latest operating system. I for one am not saying wow, and
| am annoyed by these advertisements that seem to follow me at every
| turn. So I decided to use the classic new Vista error message which
| reads "Error, The Operation Completed Succesfully" . I've made a
| sheet here for easy sticker duplication on A4 sized paper.

| and sat down to read it...

Microsoft to make the most of a PS3-less Christmas
,----[ Quote ]
| Anyway, back to Microsoft's Christmas advertising blitz, the firm is
| quick to admit it?s an unusually high spend. "It's probably well in
| excess of double what we've typically spent on a Christmas," said
| Xbox marketing boss Stephen McGill to trade magazine MCV. "With Sony
| not being here and Nintendo coming in with limited stock the
| opportunity for us is pretty significant. Most of the £14 million
| will be spent on getting consistent TV airtime."
|
| So today's takeover of The Metro is clearly just the beginning.
| Expect to see Xbox 360 start dominating the TV ad space any day now.
