The much ballyhooed new version of Windows, Windows XP was unveiled in Seattle yesterday. Is it just me, or does the interface look like a cross between Mac OSX and Netscape 6? This quote is from a ZD Net report on the event.

At least one developer who viewed Tuesday’s presentation was not impressed.

“This is so sad. They’re just lamely trying to copy Steve Jobs’ Apple presentation—right down to the guy having a black shirt and black pants,” said one Whistler tester who watched the Seattle event via Webcast and requested anonymity. “It’s almost like Windows ME 2. Or as Apple might call it, Windows Me Too.”

Well, you know I've been here many times, and only certain hours of the day when I'm here am I asleep; the rest of the time I'm actually awake. -- I have a filler on a dat with zappa being interrogated by a couple of swedish fans/state officers(who knows)...in which they are arguing over the pornographic contents of his work. he tells them he has been spying on them, and claims that their porno industry is bigger than that of the US. it's pretty funny. btw-this is from thew '88 tour.
