I think it is really nice of MS to at last share the glory of their
products.
#1. It makes using your PC a breeze
Google desktop search is given a nice plug there.
3. It's the safest version of Windows ever
Mainly because nothing will run on it, including virus's.
7. Because you can freeze time
Ok, Vista has the lead on us this time. I just searched Sourceforge and
there are absolutely no projects involving time travel or the control of
time.
#9. Unchain your mobile PC
Wifi technology creators get praised in this one.
#15. Because your PC remembers to back up for you.
But not if you only pay for Vista Standard, you have to buy the more
expensive ones to get a backup, unless you get a BT account.
#23. Because it's like a digital candy store.
"You choose the fun—TV, games, music, movies, home videos, or photo
slide shows—Windows Vista has all of your entertainment in one
convenient place.
See, Google widgets get another mention. Thats really nice of MS to give
hem a plug.t
Actually, if you look at the list a large number of the things listed are
really just repeats. The entertainment center is repeated many times, as
is the Share documents. I suspect that the list may only be ten items or
so, but just like Seagul bird splat, one dose can cover 100 bodies.
