Wow! That's Vista being French-boxed...

Two days after its worldwide launch, Vista is far from getting general approval in France. Of course there was the usual lot of Windows fanboys writing articles full of praise, but more sensible journalists have begun to raise doubts concerning Microsoft's latest offspring. Not that the megacorp didn't try to pump up the event: a global TV campaign, PC websites redesigned to mimic Vista's look, in France, the cherry on the top was a firework in Paris above La Defense Great Arch to the glory of Vista praised by thy name...
Just for you to have an idea of what it was like in Paris (and also because, anyway, you don't expect us to have a balanced view on this, do you?), here's what a French blogger wrote about that over-hyped event:

Predictably enough, Microsoft France CEO ended his speech Ballmer style:
''Woooooo! Woooooo! I had a GREAT day, 'GREAT' I say ! What a BEAUTIFUL day! And that's all thanks to Vista's lauch! Yeaaah!''
''And look, we also have cinema programmes gadgets (widgets), that's COOOOOL!''
''And Vista's whole architecture, which is completely new, will have you rip all the benefits from the new Internet''
''And for each dollar spent in Windows, that's actually an $13 average you pour in Microsoft's ecosystem. Isn't that GRREEAAAT?!?''
Gimme a break, fire the guys who wrote that speech. Change it all please. First of all your product is not revolutionary at all, but now you're smearing it with a shame it does not deserve...

If you wanna read the article (in French :P )

PS : Wow! is the word smart guys from Microsoft's marketing department have elected to put forward for the promotion of their product, insisting on how revolutionnary it is. ''Tell a lie a hundred times, and it becomes the truth''...
