Here’s the obligatory nod to the technology tsunami that is Windows Vista. Microsoft’s first update to its operating system in five years is now on the shelves of tens of thousands of retailers and is expected to indirectly generate $70 billion in revenue for tech suppliers that build Vista-related products.
More than that, we’re all going to be hearing about Vista a lot for months to come. Microsoft is purportedly spending $500 million to market the new platform, and is pursuing all kinds of new ways to get the message out (take a look at this offbeat site and this bizarre site called The Institute for Advanced Personhood).
While we’re at, check out Bill Gates’ appearance on the Daily Show last night, during which Jon Stewart tried to worm Gates’ password out of him and asked what the purpose of the F12 key is.
