Microsoft's grinning robots or the Brotherhood of the Mac. Which is worse?

To be honest: There's just no other excuse for the Windows 7 House Party campaign, then Microsoft trying to get the most media attention they can possible get. I'd say its working.

I was expecting him to link to this hilarious "remix" of the video:

Well windows 7 is really something that should have followed XP, just like windows 2000 should have followed win98SE. I guess Microsoft will just keep baking these windows ME - style half baked OSes.

This looks like a genuinely fun windows launch party (or rather, "launch windows"-party): http://www.svlug.org/events/crash98.php

I love Charlie Brooker.

I've got an Iphone and a Macbook pro and I do exactly the things he says. Brilliant.

He clearly should drop that MS crap and repent his sins.

Jesus Christ, this guy needs to get a life. I write OS/systems software and I don't care as much about my OS as this guy. I've had flame wars over design decisions but seriously, my OS is there so I can do work. If I'm not doing work, it's failing. The perfect OS is just there, being invisible, helping you do exactly what you want, when you want it, quickly. Just pick whatever allows you to do that and move on with your life.

P.S. Hardware matters too. You use a computer with shitty caps made in Taiwan and you know what will happen.
