My friend released Vista video today

http://www.microsoft.com/events/executives/webcasts.mspx?wt_svl=20049a&mg_id=20049b

I'm watching it now.

Oh, I got it wrong - I didn't fully read the email - it is not running yet.

Right, according to new sources it is about 2 hours away.

Sigh .. it must be wonderfull having friends like that..

Well, I did work for Microsoft UK for 14 months many years ago.

Right, it is getting close to kick-off time and the AV is streaming.

And a humorous comic to go with the flow of the thread...



Seriously, I'm going to hate the day that Microsoft finds some means of making Vista a must-have in my eyes.

I hope everyone is watching (and also have pens and paper to make notes) - I will be asking questions later.

Actually, we are about 10 mins away from kick off.

They forgot to start selling Windows Vista non bloaty crap version.

> Actually, we are about 10 mins away from kick off.

7 minutes till doomsday then.

10 minutes from now 21:40 GMT - so kick of is 21:50 GMT

I'm pondering running up the road and grabbing loads of sweeties for this.

The wow starts now

The future of blue screen of death is finally here. I can't wait to find out all the next generation of compatibility issues with old games. It's gonna be like Captain Nemo's cave.

2 minutes.

Man, you're fast .. he is it me .. I can barely hear any sound

To be honest, Vista does not excite me.

However, DX10 gaming excites me to the point of bursting - oooh.

Sorry, you need to turn your sound up - it's coz of the compression we are using.

Kick off!!!

Woof, woof.

We got sound problems - hang on.

Sound should start to improve.

Perfect, and thanks for mentioning this. I would have missed out on it otherwise.

MicroSoft are making pasta now? Yum!

I opened up the morning paper and there was an advert that ran across the bottom of two pages with an image of a nice local beach, proclaiming "Vista - a new day has begun!'.

Because when I think of Vista, oh yeah, I think of sunny days and the beach (rolls eyes).
