OT: "Vow!"

  • Article

I had fun yesterday at the Vista/Office launch party on campus here; it was kind of exciting. Top three favorite things: 1. Free latte. 2. Jim Allchin  3."Wow" campaign commercials for Vista. The ads are great. My dad's accent (German) is not that noticeable anymore but when he says "Wow," which he does say quite a bit, it sounds like "Vow." So, when they were showing the ads, I kept picturing localized versions where the people were saying "vow" instead of wow and I thought that would be charming. Especially if the ads only featured my dad.

    I attended the Minneapolis Event.  The event was great with lots of good information and of couse free stuff. One of the DVDs we received is a copy of Windows Vista RTM (I think).  The DVD label is below: LRMCFRE_EN_DVD If this is the RTM, I'm wondering if it expires at some point.  The package it came in doesn't mention anything about when it will cease to function.

    It is RTM but will expire 6 months after installation. Use the WinVer command after installation to track remaining evaluation time left.
