The Vista SP1 promotional video didn't win you over then? (thanks to llamasoft_ox for this) ;)

I feel like running a "Linux Freedom" install party. Plus the advantage is..every attendee can get a free copy. If you're late or don't bring anything to the party..then you might wind up with several copies to take away with you. ;)

If Neon PC ever gets release, now there's a damn good reason for a party.

I applied to host one because it's the only way I would have been able to get W7, but was not successful. It would have been funny because I live in an old folks home and I was going to do a Windows 7 install party for 80s and 90s year olds. LOL.

"Russian gas, let's hope it never comes to an end"?

Umm, I have some bad news for you about that "not coming to an end" thing you were hoping for.

(Mind you, it's not half as bad news as I've got about the oil supplies...)

Would be interesting to see how many clogs are popped in the time it takes to install...
