The state of the WIndows PC platform is just plain sicker and sadder today than ever (and that’s saying quite a lot).

Microsoft’s solution? Take a couple of the remaining Golden Girls, a few ditzy secretaries, some vacant soccer moms, and other assorted oblivious dopes who have never seen Windows Vista’s upside-down and backwards Mac OS X UI graphics rip-offs, show them a demo while calling it “Mojave,” then tell them it’s really “Vista,” record their breathless/witless gasps of surprise, and then play it back for everyone else who already know that Vista is the same old crappy Windows with bolted-on, system-taxing, upside-down and backwards Mac OS X UI graphics rip-offs.

“See, we told you Vista is cool!” So, how’s that working for ya, Balmy?

Microsoft is responsible for The Dark Ages of Personal Computing. Thankfully, the renaissance is finally upon us.
