Windows is female

I just proved that Microsoft Windows is female!

  • When Microsoft releases new patches the Windows installation do things you don’t like without asking. Patches are released once a month.
  • During the update everything is slow as hell and you’ll be annoyed because of that.
  • After installing updates if will nag you over and over again for a reboot. And if that isn’t enough it will reboot eventually anyway, whether you like it or not.
  • During reboot it takes away everything you were doing at the time, including your background music and annoying chats. So when Windows is gone for a moment you finally have a little time of peace.
  • In order to keep Windows happy you have to spend a lot of money on good hardware. Failing to do so will result in a very unhappy and slow Windows.

If that isn’t prove enough I don’t know…

XBMC feature freeze

August 14th, 2008 No comments

Today Team-XBMC has officially hit a feature freeze in anticipation of an upcoming stable release of XBMC, codenamed ‘Atlantis’. XBMC Atlantis will be released on Linux, Mac, Windows and Xbox simultaneously in about 2 months time.

Now that is really good news. I’ve been using XBMC since the first day I got my Xbox and happy with XBMC from day one. Ok, it’s not perfect, developers break stuff (and fix it again!) and features are not always how I would like it to be, but perfect software does not exist!

I’m playing with the alpha version as we speak and it looks good as always. Although I can”t get the Windows version function yet, maybe too early to test that. It is alpha after all.
