Fail is YOU!
So I stumbled upon in my regular readings an article entitled Top 10 Worst Microsoft Products, which made be think about (in context of recent fails by yours truly) on some well known Microsoft fails.
There was this crash of Win98 while demoing the revolutionary Plug and Play feature...
... This one quite amuses me since Bill is right there with the demoer, who must be thinking "I am so fired after this".
Then there was this fail of Windows Vista speech recognition...
And now most recently, this failure of Windows 7 on live Japanese TV
Truth be told, without launching into a FULL argument about the whole thing, what Microsoft has to work with is horrible at best. Trying to deal with the universe of different hardware and peripheral combination is an absolute nightmare, I don't think people realise just how hard it is. Apple don't have to deal with random hardware combinations, and its only recently that Linux has come into its own with general hardware compatibility and usability. What Microsoft has allowed (to some degree) is a market of free hardware choice, which can only be a good thing.
DJ Hero
So I was bad and dropped some money into a couple of games: Forza 3 Limited edition and DJ Hero. DJ Hero reminds me of IIDX and DJ Max, I like it! I don't know why but all the Rihanna songs got so much flack when I was playing it at Jacky's house with Peter. But they're all fun to play =D I wonder what two player is like ...
