Too Much Time On Their Hands

Mark at BoingBoing led me to another one of those You Tube videos that prove that too many people have too much time on their hands. Who would have ever thought of Dice Stacking and something to perfect? Here's the link.

And I came across this from Wired Magazine. I guess that Microsoft is having trouble with Vista? I know now why I haven't switched yet.

Microsoft Buckles, Gives Windows XP A Life Extension
By Scott Gilbertson September 28, 2007

The people have spoken and Microsoft is listening. The company has decided to continue selling Windows XP through the end of June 2008, which is five months past the original deadline. The extension applies to both retail sales of XP and the company's OEM deals with major manufacturers.

“There are some customers who need a little more time to make the switch to Windows Vista,” says Mike Nash, the head of Windows product management, in an interview on the Microsoft PR site. “We’re responding to feedback we have gotten from our OEM partners that some customers will benefit by extending availability of Windows XP.”

There’s been much ado about Windows Vista and it’s hardware requirements versus XP, and the web is filled with tales of disgruntled users “upgrading” back to XP after experiencing problems with Vista. CNet recently ran an editorial calling for Microsoft to abandon Vista, or the OS “will bring the software giant to its knees.”
