Hasta La Vista

It was like a birthday party that no one came to.

Newsday reports from a CompUSA store in Raleigh, NC, on the midnight release of Windows Vista:

Employees decorated the store with balloons and set up bright new
displays featuring computers equipped with Vista. There was a
five-second countdown over the  in their public-address system to let customers
know they could buy the software.

The only problem is, there weren’t any customers. Okay, less than a dozen. But that is not the kind of turnout that is going to put Microsoft back on the map. Granted, most people will only experience the new software when they buy a new computer, but as the Seattle Post-Intelligencer points out, it’s going to be a hard sell even with this lovely lady on their wallpaper.
