Well, rather near Redmond (within mortar range, so I have to be careful), the sun appears to be up--somewhere above the cloud deck.

Finally!

Yup, the sun will rise and fall for a long time with Windows Vista. :)

I think the fact he has to tag it as 'humor' is funny.

My XP machine stopped working. When I booted it up it told me I had to upgrade to Vista and had a field to put in my credit-card number. It also said if I didn't, it would send my browing history to all of my work contacts and also, it would fill my hdd with KennyG songs from my zune account.

Guess I am upgrading.

NEWSFLASH:  MS still keeps information posted on their website for reference purposes.  And the fact that XP is still available for ULCPC's.

BTW, for an even greater blast from the past:

Breaking News: Not only did the sun come up, but Windows Vista on both my notebook and desktop booted and functioning normally. Fast, efficient, and still executing every function this user gave.

Since when does anyone go to the NY Times for PC news? Not anyone I know in Dallas.
