Advertising and Vista

I recall with the 95 launch, there was a huge media blitz on TV, billboards
etc... leading up to its launch.

Now, I have yet to see one TV commercial or a sign anywhere. Is MSFT waiting
till after launch to start everything?

Re: Advertising and Vista

The launch will be explosive... something like the destructive force of an
H-bomb.

What gives me the feeling that you will be looking at the deadly mushroom
and commenting:

"How beautiful"

Re: Advertising and Vista

True. I was just wondering whether I missed all the initial media stuff....
they just haven't started. I'm looking forward to seeing the first tv
commercial.

Re: Advertising and Vista

* correction Chimps not chips.....

the Chimps are perhaps eating chips though...Err not
computer chips... they use those to fry bananas on,
after they have overheated, stuggling under the
bloat of vista....

Re: Advertising and Vista

I understand that Microsoft came top of the list of best places to work,
with a higher degree of employee satisfaction than any other company..

Are you saying that all the employees do a dance and scream at the top
of their lungs in public like Stevie does?
