Journal tf23's Journal: This movie brought to you by Vista! 1
This past weekend my wife and I went and saw Breach at one of the local movie theaters.
What was interesting is my wife had previously gone to the movies a few days before with our son. So when we sat down, she quirped something about "this movie's brought to us by Vista ugh!!". I didn't know what she was talking about, and she's not a techie (though she sure has to listen to all sorts of 'techie stuff' all the time because of me). So I gave her a quizzical look and continued unwrapping myself from my gloves, hat, jacket, flannel, etc, as did she.
Well what do you know? She was exactly right! The movie's 30 minute set of ads,community spotlights, quizzes and what-not were definitely brought to you by Vista!. Each commercial, each movie clip, each ad, was shown in various window-arrangements and settings via a Vista desktop. And it was so pretty!
Seriously, they made the windows (each representing a commercial that you'd either just watched, or would be soon) flip over each other, jump over each other, shuffle their order, jump around ala OSX's Expose. Every once in a while they'd try to delve into other "pretty" aspects of Vista, but soon after jump right back to the window management and the flippy window icons.
Yes, all brought to you by Vista!
We were so thankful. Because of Vista's unique window arangement tools, we fully comprehended all of the advertisements. And because of Vista, we gleefully watched each and every ad diligently throughout the entire ~30 minute spell. That is, before the ~15 minutes of forced-real-previews started. But they weren't brought to us by Vista. At-least, not yet.
