Let me tell you a little business stategy. How does this sound. You have a website and decide to BUY a news company, and call it what it was called before just with your name in front of it now. Then you create a website as well to this company. You've got this new product coming out, and decide to make a press release quoting your General Manager of Marketing saying that this product is greatly anticipated and quote "Consumers are eager to get a copy". Follow? People aren't eager, but when you the consumer read that other consumers are eager to get a copy, you think "oh my, I need to go buy this product if others are eager".
Well others AREN'T eager. The guys allowed to give an opinion that's why you can't press charges for false advertisemnt, and here's the worst part, this is a true story. Everyone heard of Windows XP?
Consumers are eager to get a copy of Windows XP and don't want to wait until Oct. 25, said John Frederiksen, general manager for Windows marketing at Microsoft Corp. Consumers can preorder a copy of Windows XP today from one of several retailers or buy a Windows XP Ready PC from a computer manufacturer. Consumers Can Order Windows XP Today
Industry retailers and major computer makers are responding to the growing excitement for the Microsoft® Windows® XP operating system by accepting advance orders for the software and by making Windows XP Ready PCs available for purchase today. Windows XP was released to manufacturing Aug. 24 and is scheduled to be available worldwide Oct. 25.
Don't believe the hype. Windows XP is going to suck, just like WinME did. Each windows version gets to be buggier and buggier the more features they add. Win95 while somewhat limited compared to WinME, is probably more stable.
Spork.
