Great Vista cartoon

Windows Vista Basic- Only lets you play solitare and use MS word. Solitare can be disabled for childrens user accounts so they are playing with cards.

Windows Vista Senior Citizen Edition- Email and Internet only

Windows Vista "I don't know which one to buy" Edition- costs as much as all the versions combined minus 10%, the best of all worlds

Is there a vista media center edition yet?
 
It's just dawned on me, that we sell PC's/laptops at work.

If someone asks me about Vista, I'm just going to put them 'hold' and go and put the kettle on. Hopefully by the time my cuppa brews they'll be gone. :D

There is, but it's not called Media Centre Edition. I believe it's the Home Premium Edition.

C'mon, try to keep up, it's all perfectly straight forward! :p

Media Center -> Premium or Ultimate
Professional -> Business

Maybe they will come out with a Media Center edition made for libraries just to be more confusing.


If I was buying Windows, I would feel ripped off they they cut off features. Its not right you have to pay more to get more.
 
Heres Vista's new tech support in training:D

The only thing I am interested in Vista is Aero. How does it fair with Apple's current interface and upcoming Leopard? I think Vista is over-taxing the hardware too much compared to Apple OS X.

Don't you know anything? DOS is the base (the "code" if you will) beneath all operating systems, even Linux. Tiger, Ubuntu, and "Windows" are all just names for GUI's written to work with this DOS program, which of course was engineered by the late Bill Gates (who invented Linux as well as electricity).

Presumably you're taking about MS-DOS, which was Microsoft's first major operating system. Windows 1, 2, 3 and 4 (95/98/ME) all sat on top of DOS.

Windows NT (including 2000/XP/Vista) sits on top of OS/2 instead of MS-DOS.

I guess my sarcasm wasn't hard-pressed enough :confused:
 
I bet you there will be more versions added later.

The guys at Microsoft are almost as bad as George Lucas is at reselling Star Wars to every nerd on the planet. Can't wait until "Star Wars Special Super-Duper Retouched Edition" is released on Blu-ray.

I've actually been living a lie...

Yesterday I was told that every version of Windows is just another GUI for something called DOS!!!??? So can I just get the skin instead of buying the new one? Or have they rewritten this "DOS"? It could just be a Tiger skin for DOS AFAIK, we'll just wait and see.

I got someguy's sarcasm, not Jasonbot's. (a smiley:D would've helped)
 
I showed this cartoon to a PC mate of mine and he went on the defensive. You know usual crap about Windows and OSX.

I let him waffle on for a couple of minutes then I stopped him and said "so which version are you getting?"

"I... er... well... I... Ultimate I think?"

"And will that run on your pentium 3?"

"Er... well.. I... erm..."

:D

I think he's still going now.

er... i... well... yeh but...

But a smiley would have given away the sarcasm. Sarcasm works best when those targeted don't realise they're being sarcasmed...

Yes I made up a word.

Don't forget Windows Vista 15-year-old-girl Edition- Automatically opens selected 'social networking' websites and has a custom pink GUI. Includes a bonus chatspeaker so you don't even have to type at all, let alone wrongly. :D
