Vista to debut on Oprah???? | The Coffeehouse

I don't know where this "10" thing that Scoble was talking about fits into this, but MS is planning its marketing blitz for Vista, and it will be intense indeed (not just to persuade users to buy Vista but especially to buy the super-duper jumbo-sized day-glow premium version with sausage, pepperoni, extra anchovies, whipped cream, pecans, and chocolate sauce). See the report. What interests me most (other than the prospects of Oprah's grilling the MS representatives about whether they fabricated Vista's marketing claims!) is Bill Gates' desire for the self-generating hype that would result from having news reports about people lined up to buy Vista at midnight of the day it goes on sale. Do you suppose they will pay people to do that? Maybe that's what the "10" initiative is all about - "Here's 10 bucks, now go camp out in front of the computer store and get your picture on the TV news!!!" Smiley

I wish we had cute little .sig sections on this forum cuz I'd use the quote above as mine.

Oprah: Where's "up" gone and why are the toolbars locked?
Gates: Rips off mic ... storms off stage

How sad it would be to have to PAY people to buy your product and stand in phony lines. Is Jay Leno in on this launch? So if you flood the media with garbage advertising does it make it a better product...noooooooooo

And yet, the unspoken method of Linux advertizing is to have people spread garbage FUD.

You should write a book.

Perhaps you should have Barry Bonds do an ad for you, while he's all doped up on steroids. He could "hit one out of the park" with a bat and Windows product box. I wonder how far it would fly. Think he could reach the upper deck, or would it fly into pieces? Hopefully the box would be AEROdynamic.

Hahahaha.

Man, you should be in show-biz.

And the part about Barry Bonds makes it so topical.

Man, you're so very, very clever.

OH, wait, I just got the AERO reference!!!! Smiley

Oh, nooooo, I'm laughing all over again.

Ooops, milk just shot out of my nose cuz I was laughing so damn hard about how...you know...how AERO and Aerodynamic are spelled the same and windows has aero and ... oops...here it comes again...I gots the giggles.

Oh, boy, you just kill me.
