Rockee
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.:D
 
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".

At keast there is actually some music playing.
 
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.
 
Windoze users do get excited Ballmer does his monkey boy routine.

Developers. Developers. Developers. Developers. Developers. Developers. Developers. Developers. Developers. Developers. Developers. Developers. Developers. Developers. Developers. Developers. Developers. Developers. Developers. Developers. Developers. Developers. Developers. Developers. Developers. Developers. Developers. Developers. Developers. Developers. Developers. Developers.

Collapse.
 
not ALL windows users are boring....

:D




plus, today i showed my friends an article in Newsweek (i think it was newsweek) about Hacking the iPod (using AppleScripts and other cool things) and every one of them said MAC'S SUCK!

ohhh i got so pissed...

i GUARANTEED them if they used a mac for 1 month, they would change... but would they take me up on the offer? NO! (that's maybe a good thing since i would have had to buy them macs or let them use mine whenever I get it)

comments WHY they hated macs...
"the minimize, maximize and exit buttons are on the wrong sides!" (mainly talking about any OS before X but after 7)
"they don't have a taskbar!" my rebuttal... DOCK! :)

ahhhhh.... people just don't understand!

i even told them that the iMac G4 @ 800 MHz & Superdrive, etc. was CHEAPER than the Dell Dimension 8200 at 2 GHz with the exact same specs (around $700 more than the iMac)





btw... when i played the MacWorld San Francisco Webcast last week, i was even more excited THEN than when I was actually THERE! kinda weird, but anticipation to see the new design of the iMac was still there, 3 months from seeing it in person!

The article was actually in Time (the human guinea pig issue). Just a correction :)
 
That said, BlingBling is no ordinary PC user. He also uses macs. And, if he persuades his friends to try macs, we could even consider him a mac user...
 
Heres my new plan for dealing with stupid PC users like that.

If they say "macs suck" just say "you suck".

When they ask why you say:

"You talk differently then me, you walk differently then.... oh yeah and you comb your hair the wrong way"

:D
 
Good idea googole. I don't think it would work with some of the people that are just too completely dense to understand. :p

I watched it live with about 50 other people at the local Apple Store :D
 
BTW just an odd correction; slaves DID sing on the plantations, strangely enough. There are many records of this.

That said, I know many Windows users at my school.. some don't care, some think it's OK, and some people don't like Windows but hate Macs so much that they let it cloud their judgement. I know this one guy (I won't name any names :)) who basically doesn't like Macs for the sole purpose of having something he can argue with me about. Basically, he doesn't KNOW why he doesn't like Macs. As he says, "well, they just suck." I ask him to explain and he says something like "I love Windows ME." or something that's totally NOT in response to my argument :)

Obviously, I walk away totally disgusted after a VERY short time :p
 
Not all windows users are boring, some people get really excited when Microsoft releases new products like an 802.11 base station, a web browser, a reliable operating system, system colors other than grey and dos turqouse, and the revolutionary new concept of selling computers with LCD monitors!!
 
Yeah I was amazed at how excited Windows users got with the new "instant on" feature of Windows XP. What it does is wake up your laptop and restore all your current work-- in LESS TIME THAN IT TAKES TO RESTART! It's amazing!

Someone I know was really amazed with the launch of WinXP because they no longer had a PROGRESS BAR for waking up from sleep. (It was an old Compaq laptop)
 
Well of course the Windows users don't get excited over the releases of stuff from Microsoft, because they saw it at an Apple release months earlier :p

I wonder what they'll think when Microsoft designs their new meeses (plural of computer mouse ;) ) to plug into the side of the keyboard, and when the taskbar defaults to the top of the screen (like it ORIGANALLY did in the first beta on Windows 95, but Apple chucked a stink, and Microsoft had to move it to the bottom of the screen.

Do you have any screen shots of this? I've never seen (or knew) that! :D
 
Mice are little varmits that need to be caught. USE a tablet. (I'm one to talk). Steve Jobs got me going, just when I was craving for a G4 Powerbook, SALIVAAAYTING, he came out with something better. I never knocked the imac, but now I know serious PC users doing a 1-80. Rumors are Darth Gates himself is on one. On OSX. But only when he's with his 'guy-friend' on Mercer Island. He would never admit to having one at home in Magnolia.
