Look into the Vista

A wise man once said that a person could never go broke underestimating the intelligence of the average person. Microsoft is banking on it. If you have seen the newest Mojave/Vista television commercials you will know exactly what I am talking about. That last statement will only be true if you, my reader, have an IQ above average. Not likely but we can all hope.

Microsoft went to San Francisco to find Windows XP users who had negative impressions of Vista. The subjects were put on video, asked about their Vista impressions, and then shown a "new" operating system, code-named Mojave. More than 90 percent gave positive feedback on what they saw. Then they were told that "Mojave" was actually Windows Vista.

If you do not realize why this was a poor experiment than let me explain why. The focus group did not have to install Vista or configure Vista. Let me explain further. The computer that you are sitting at now will not likely run Vista. If it can than you might be lucky or unlucky. The unlucky ones see the commercial, not listen to those of us screaming NO, and install Vista on their machines. Once you have installed the giant worm called Vista, you will notice that your computer will move slower than an old person on a Sunday drive. You will also notice that your printer, scanner, network and any other external devices might not run. Perhaps if you buy a new computer it will work better. If you don’t see the pun in that than perhaps you should buy a new computer.

Keep listening to the corporate brain washers, my fellow lemmings. By the way that is also another false misnomer. Lemmings don’t actually kill themselves by leaping off a cliff.

We should not be teaching our children to read and learn, we should be teaching our children to question what they have read and learned. After you watch any new commercial make sure you question it.

Don’t Let The Terrorists Win. Are they really terrorists, or are they Freedom Fighters? What is the difference and who determines the differences?
