Red face Windows user are soooooo boring!

I was watching this video from the WinHEC keynote and there were showing off their networked home. And the whole time the people are sitting in the audience very quietly. You wouldn't even know they were there if weren't the presenters looking out at them.

When you see a MacWorld keynote theirs rock music playing before it starts, people are yelling out during the show, everybody's cheering. It's like a party!

So I have come to the conclusion that Windows users are unable to be excited.

Details...

Unable to be excited about their operating system. But who can blame them? It would be like the slaves singing on the plantations.

Note on the above so I don't get flamed for my 100th post: That was not a racist comment. It was a striking analogy.

That said,

Woot! 100 non-worthless posts!

Thats because nothing gates says is a suprise, its all the same stuff and theres never anything really exciting, thats the nature of the windows platform.

With Apple on the other hand the secrecy and suspense makes everything so much more exciting. Also we get to see more innovations first in software and hardware.

I don't get what is with the Windows users. They seem cold and lifeless, like stated above (). I wonder why...

I don't know if i would call the music that plays before a Macworld keynote "Rock N' Roll"... The Beach Boys is more like "snooze and doze".

How can they get excited? The only thing to get excited about is the newest thing microsoft is stealing from apple that they've already seen.
