re: Avoid the Apple Tax – Cash in on the value of Windows

I-dont-do-tat — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 10:02:05 GMT

Well I stumbled over this (as an ex-employee) and as I see it, it points to some alarming facts.

Fact 1: Brandon doesn't have enough to do. Brandon is the product of a Orwelian machine that manufactures and markets badly made products. He's able to blog things like this because whatever the question is, Microsoft is the answer. If he could, Brandon would cite Windows as being better at Aircraft Navigation systems than McDonald Douglas, or the like. Imagine.

Fact 2: Brandon thinks that an argument on tax matters is cool. Like everyone, Brandon would like to be cool but we must remember that the company that he works for thinks that it's CEO is cool. No, really, he is, surely....

Fact 3: Brandon feels threatened by Apple. He feels threatened because of facts 1 and 2. as a repressed inidividual only allowed news-speak, his natural insecurity (much like a bully) only allows him to threaten and prey on smaller things.

Fact 4: Brandon surely buys from Wal-Mart. Brandon's idea of 'value' is --low cost--. To value something really means to appreciate and protect it - in other words, something expensive, rare or coveted. Brandon's emplyers don't think like this - it's all about volume.

Fact 5: Brandons brand on Windows (if you follow me) is of like-for-like. How sad. Apples products are better built, more reliable and stable (oh, and secure) and yes, more expensive, but better value for money than pretty much any Windows PC.

Fact 6: Brandon is a flat-earther. Whilst the whole inidustry is in transformation around mobility, Microsoft give us Windows Mobile...somewhat like a Surface device but no good at making phone calls. A chocolate teapot

Windows 7: Lipstick on the pig. Brandon (in some small part) is responsible for the Neo-Vista world. Desperately trying to make Windows 'cool' and ergo-sexy is not the answer - just improve Windows XP and you're there. No, don't forget Brandon's internal employee mantra is 'Microsoft - change the world or go home'.

Chill out and appreciate value.

Can I add that to the suggestion box? For some older users, stuff like that is a deal breaker. I know Aero is bright and shiny and looks like a Mac, but there's something to be said for functionality.

lolht, unfortunately I am not aware of a way to get a drop down list to do what you're asking. The user who wants to log on locally to that PC will need to login with the PC name instead of the domain.

For example, instead of DOMAIN\username, they need to login iwht PC_NAME\username.

Speaking of personalization, is there a way to get a drop down menu for domains at the login screen in Windows 7? I have a user that needs to login to both a network domain and locally and it's a hassle for him.

dmstoday, I can see if I can dig up some answers on the design decision for that. I personally love the light blue color of the menu bar :-)

doverlla, you want more clocks in Windows 7? Did you know you can add multiple clock gadgets to your desktop? Also: you can also add additional clocks under "Date and Time" to the clock on the Windows Taskbar too.
