Melon Liqueur based operating systems?

Monday, August 4th, 2008

So they are thinking about retiring windows then are they?

Well its about fucking time. Now although I sit here writing this on a Mac and OSX, I don’t really like steve jobs that much and have made my thoughts pretty clear in this blog as I think his “lets bum the consumer as they will be dazzled by the marvelous design” and we are. we lap down the changes, the obvious built in obsolescence that these things have…. but his isn’t about Jobs, this is about Gates.

Now I’m afraid that I don’t have the first clue of how this new operating system will work, will it be better than windows ME (which actually did have ‘ME’ and was like the Phantom menace of Microsoft’s products) will the “virtualisation be the making of a whole new online based society. I don”t have the answers. I don have them as I don’t have B.O, knowledge of all episodes of Enterprise and still live at home and there for I’m not qualified for this subject.

What I can say is though, that why spend the millions and millions of geek power and money developing something revolutionary and then name it after a melon based liqueur that teenagers (and me) only drink when they run out of everything else including Thunderbird and sherry.

Why not call it Mirage or Addvocaat? or what about 20/20 (why was it called that? you certainly couldn’t see like that after a bottle of the shite)

Maybe this is what the Silicon Valley guys were shit faced on at the last Microsoft Warhammer night and thought it’d be a good idea. Possible but not probable… they are mad for Lambrini are Bill Gates and his minions.

What 80’s fruit based Liqueur do you think they should call it after? Leave me a message.
