New Interface for Xbox 360
As of last night Microsoft went in and changed one of the best things about its Xbox 360 gaming console – its graphical user interface. Instead of a functional, neatly-organized folder view, now you get a childish design with avatar selection reminiscent of Sierra’s vintage Leisure Suit Larry characters. Microsoft succeeded in creating an interface that is both aesthetically retarded and functionally challenged – a rare combination in GUI design.
After downloading the latest (mandatory, as usual) upgrade for your XBox, you may not be able to find any of your movies, music, games, or system settings, but you will get a chance to dress up your avatar in a brown polyester suit and platform shoes. After adding mutton chops and golden aviator shades, your avatar will bust a few disco moves and will be ready to meet the world of other virtual losers. This just makes me want to get a hold of Microsoft’s homoerectus-designer responsible for this gayness cornucopia and beat him over the head with an oversized rubber dildo.

- Russians Rally for and Against Putin, Despite an Icy Day
(Time.com) February 8, 2012Unless you have a passion for ice fishing or catching pneumonia, Feb. 4 would have been about the worst day to spend outdoors in Moscow.

You get what you deserve for using any Microshit product.
Thanks for the laugh!
BTW, is it true that some US warship was once so disabled by it’s failing onboard MS network that it had to be towed to the closest harbor?

Microsoft has too major problems: its greedy but incompetent marketing department and Indian software engineers. While I have nothing personal against Indians, they are not half as good with computers as they think they are. In a rush to save on development costs, every year Microsoft hires hundreds of inexperienced, poorly-educated (but cheap) programmers from countries with questionable higher education systems and where a computer is somewhat of a white elephant. The result is not unexpected.
Yes, If I remember correctly, about ten years ago the USS Yorktown cruiser had to be towed to base after its Windows NT servers controlling the propulsion system crashed. Sad to say, Windows NT is the most stable and reliable member of the Windows family. Thank God the ship wasn’t using Windows ME: it would have probably exploded before ever leaving the dock.
