Back in November I wrote that I’d downgraded 17 Vista machines to XP, well I’m happy to report that roughly seven months later I’ve downgraded a total of 149 machines! 107 of them being laptops, and the remainder being desktops.
I’ve also moved 14 computers from Vista to various distros of Linux.
Further proof that Vista really is one of Microsofts biggest failings.
For those of you who haven’t uninstalled Windows Vista SP1 RC1 yet, remember to uninstall it before it expires on June 30th. After June 30th, you’ll be greeted by a lovely END_OF_NT_EVALUATION_PERIOD error message an hour after the machine has booted.
What significance does the number seventeen have? It’s the number of computers I’ve downgraded from Windows Vista to Windows XP for my customers.
I ran a benchmark utility (Geekbench) on one of them before downgrading, there was a 250 point difference between Vista and XP (in favor of XP). Ouch.
I ran across this Microsoft sponsored post on the blog of a friend, of a friend, of a friend… Or something like that. Anyhow, I found it rather humorous and thought I would share.
I don’t know why Mac users get so defensive when you call them idiots. I mean, Apple is a company that has built its entire user base around the fact that its users can’t do simple things like turn their computers on. Most Mac users can’t even talk without using their hands, which ranks their intelligence somewhere between a simian and hog crap.
Stupid user base aside, I will never own a Mac. It’s not so much that I’m a PC loyalist. I’m not. It’s that I’m not stylish enough to own one. Most iPod commercials feature guys with long hair, chicks roller skating, and guys wearing fedoras. I feel like in order to have a Mac, I need to be:
- An artist.
- In a band.
- Unemployed

That’s right folks… The future is here! Remember Microsoft Surface? Well the fellows over at Sarcastic Gamer have put together a beautifully crafted parody of the Microsoft Surface promo video.
