Very Funny Dvorak Column

[Macmaniac]

I saw this on PCMag and I had to laugh

I really liked this line in the story

Microsoft talks about how when it releases Vista, there will be various versions such as Home, Small Business, Enterprise, and so on. Why doesn't the company just bite the bullet and bring out various exploitable versions? Here are some suggestions:

Vista – Won't Boot Edition… $29.95
Vista – Preloaded with Viruses and Spyware Edition… $39.95
Vista – Initially Clean but Use at Your Own Risk Edition… $49.95
Vista – Clean with Firewall and Weekly Protection Update Edition… $200
You get the idea. How about this for a concept: One Version that Works Edition.

dvorak always makes me laugh, i didnt like the comments that he made on the mini, but i dont think he realised what a hit it was going to be. it was early days when he wrote that article. (am i talking about the right guy?)

If I had a Windows based computer, I might take a shot on a version called:

Vista - Las Vegas Roulette Edition ... $15.00

Roll the dice (maybe it will do something, maybe not).

Yeah, a lot of people think he hates Apple because he's always talking about how much he thinks they suck. But I think he just hates everybody. What's the word? Curmudgeon.

Don't you mean:

I'd like:

Vista - Quark's Dabbo Edition ... $3.95
Vista - Actually Works Half the Time Edition ... $1700.00
Vista - We Swear It'll Work Edition ... $74600.00
Vista - It Will Run Great or Your Money Back ... First Born

He is always badmouthed here, but from what I've heard him say on the TWIT podcast, he isn't so bad.
