Vista has had a bad rap since it’s release.  I think a lot of it is because of Apple’s great marketing.  We all remember those “I’m a Mac” commercials.  Microsoft launched a new ad compaign called the Mojave Experiment.  They picked people that said they didn’t like Windows Vista and showed them a new OS [...]

Microsoft has decided to put a little marketing into Windows Media Center.  Windows Media Center is now featured at Magnolia AV stores.  This is a first step to getting consumers aware of the technology.  They have Windows Media Center PCs and extenders setup with video demonstartions of how it all works.

Microsoft is now the proud owner of The Green Button.  This comes as a bit of a surprise to me but it is something Microsoft needed to invest in (it’s users of Windows Media Center).  Chris Lanier posted about it on his blog today.  He said the ads will be removed and but nothing else [...]

Gizmodo gives 10 reason why Windows Vista isn’t that bad.  I really never thought Vista was that bad to begin with.  Their number 10 was Vista is fast if you have enough RAM.  I have been saying that since it came out, minimum of 2GB of memory to run it.  I think one of Microsofts [...]

I’m sure someone that visits my blog can help get me in on Microsoft’s new betas. I’m talking Windows 7, new Media Center and DirecTV tuners. I use to get all the good stuff when I applied with my work email. Now that I used my personal email account [...]

Windows 7 is still many years away, but there are some new details and even some pictures. Crunch Gear has screen shots of what the new Windows 7 will look like. They have confirmed that they are real. There are a lot of different styles and most of them look really good. [...]

I have been playing around with Microsoft Mesh tonight. I really like what I have seen so far. I use FolderShare to sync files now but once Mesh rolls out Mac support I won’t be using that. Mesh is really a combination of SkyDrive and FolderShare. I still have some more [...]

 
I’m sure you have seen the commercials and know what Microsoft Sync is. The best commercial I have seen is where if you buy a new Ford with Microsoft Sync in it, Ford will give you an iPhone. Isn’t there something wrong with it? Microsoft and iPhone don’t go together. Back [...]
