Dear Tech Support: Why is all my text red?

Microsoft is preparing to unveil Windows Vista, which will offer an amazing new array of options and features. Some of these features are secret, but as a software industry insider, I'm privy to interesting tidbits.

One feature I'm very much looking forward to is the Prose Scanner, nicknamed The Crap Detector; I know my blog will improve once this debuts.

  1. Apologies for demonstrating my lack of techno-knowledge, but is Vista a new OS then? :)

  2. Yep, new and improved in the classic microsoft way.

    It'll look much flashier (In fact, one hell of a lot like Mac OS 10), it'l have all kinds of features, like windows that will 'lean' in a cool looking 3d way when you minimize them.

    Basically, the only real differences with be cosmetic, only it'll take up half your hard-drive, use 50 times more memory and Processing power...and will need to be 'updated' every single hour for two years.

  3. Lovely! Can I use this in my 151 class?!?

    But no fear, your prose would never be in the red.

  4. SQ: Of course you can use this in your class! I don't know why you'd want to, since I made it all up.

  5. You know, Mike, if that's your real picture on the Etch-A-Sketch...we look scarily similar.
