And they didn't include Photo Gallery or Movie Maker. Because email, pictures, and home movies don't appeal to the social recluses at the creative center of Microsoft. Sure, it's just the email program that's missing, you can get it through a browser, but even so. You don't release your OS without email. That is wrong, see me after class.

Seriously, they do nothing but make fodder for those Mc vs. PC ads. If you don't want your product insulted, don't make an incomplete pos that makes people download stuff you should have put in to start with. That's either thoughtlessness or a dick move.

Also, I heard a story today about a happy owner of a spanking-new comp with Windows 7 and a spanking-new printer to match. Problem: the drivers for the printer aren't available for another month. *facepalm* The comp and printer were marketed as a complementing pair and they don't complement. The kid walked out of the store thinking his expensive purchase was going to work when he got home. Poor, unknowing sap.

When Apple comes, they come correct. Sure, the battery might melt, or the logic drive might die, but the fricken printer works.

And you can access your email.


Bring your Hatorade, I'm thirsty.
