Business 2.0 Says 'Boycott Vista' 756

Posted by Zonk on Friday September 08, 2006 @02:45PM from the business-gets-surly dept.

amyandjake writes "Business 2.0 has a story about Vista's delays, the amount of time wasted by Microsoft bringing Vista to market, and the fact that it doesn't seem to have any compelling features for upgrading. The last paragraph of the story says 'Boycott Vista. Keep your old Windows XP PC around. Don't buy a new one. That's the only way we have to let Microsoft know Vista is an overhyped, late, and pointless update to XP — a perfectly fine operating system.'" Relatedly, torrensmith writes "Paul Thurrott is at it again with his seemingly never-ending supply of information about Windows Vista. This time, he discusses the things he dislikes about the program, in the article The Dark Side of Windows Vista RC1."

ASCII World Cup 52

Richard writes to tell us that the web is bringing you the next step up from watching those world cup matches in high-def. As the self-proclaimed "best, most ridiculous, most redundant graphical implementation of ASCII", ascii-wm.net brings you the 2006 World Cup live via your telnet window.

I've played the beta for 2 weeks @ 4 hours/day (IAABT). DDO looks great and is well made but I can't recommend it because of an utter lack of content. After the beta I had a level 7 and level 6 toon, having played every dungeon to boredom. Hard core players maxed out their first character in less than 2 weeks.

During the last week of the beta the hardest part in starting a party was deciding what to do: noone cared anymore which dungeon to go to.

You may want to read the beta reviews at http://www.mmorpg.com/gamelist.cfm/setView/hype/ga meID/163 before spending time and money on this dud.

I'm very disappointed.
