What is this XP crap?

Talk about selling absolutely nothing. Is everyone familiar with the general criticisms of Apple's advertising? On the whole, a lot of people say that it doesn't have a strong enough message, and doesn't present enough facts. Take a gander at this pic, it looks like Micro$oft is trying to outdo Apple on the advertising front.

What are they trying to say? "we dont even need to tell you what this product is, because you're going to buy it anyway!" Why not just cram pure garbage down everyone's throats, oh wait, thats been done......

It looks like WinXP is going to have a new feature that lets you box people's faces. Think of all the ways that could be applied.....


-end of obnoxious sarcasm-

Has anyone seen screenshots of XP? To me it looks like Micro$oft is completely copying apple... Just without the good design sense

I'd like to see how many people buy this piece of crap...


(If you haven't seen screenshots check out Micro$ofts web site... Yeah, I know... I felt dirty after going there too... I recomend taking a looooonnnngggg shower after visiting it...)
