Release name candidates for the product codenamed Windows Vista
By Andrew Pollack on 04/26/2006 at 08:43 PM EDTI saw this today on SlashDot, it was posted anonymously so the best I can do for attribution is a link.
| I like your comment on Vista becoming "XP warmed over". But there is a problem. "Vista" is non-compliant with traditional Microsoft OS names. Here are my suggested product names based on compatibility with MS standard naming convention: Windows 2007 Dull but it worked in 1995, 1998, 2000, and 2003 Windows XP 2007 XP, new and improved for 2007 Windows X[Q...Z] If XP is "extra pain", then XQ is ... Windows ME 2007 ME is Redmond-speak for "warmed over". Ah, the nostalgia of it all Windows XP Service Pack 3 Truth in advertising Windows H1B Even more truth in advertising; introduces third character to embrace and extend the two-character "standard" into the future Windows DRM Ultimate truth in advertising. |

The truth is, I haven't had much to say that was worthy of more than a basic social media post -- until today. For my current work, I was assigned a new laptop. It's a real powerhouse machine with 14 processor cores and 64 gigs of ram. It should be perfect for running my development environment in a virtual machine, but it wasn't. VirtualBox was barely starting, and no matter how many features I turned off, it could ......

Certainly it should have been addressed in the Trump, Obama, Bush, Clinton, Bush, and Reagan administrations -- all of which were well aware of the implications of a pandemic. I want a military prepared to help us, not just hurt other people. As an American I expect that with the ridiculous funding of our military might, we are prepared for damn near everything. Not just killing people and breaking things, but ......

This is not quite a scam because it's technically legal, but it's run very much like a scam. This company works with a few "clients" that have vast repositories of copyrighted images. The trolls do a reverse web search on those images looking for hits. When they find one on a site that looks like someone they can scare, they work it like ......
