This afternoon, I was watching a video on CNet about the San Francisco release of Windows Vista. They said that they were expecting 500 - 1,000 people to wait outside.
Who on earth would wait in line outside of a store (CompUSA) at midnight for an Operating System?
- It's not going sell out like the XBox (since the OS is just software, it's easy to make more)
- It's not that much "fun" (I apologize to my 'softie friends, but c'mon, it's an OS--what are you going to do, watch your disk defrag?)
- It probably takes upwards of an hour to install, so if you get home at 1 AM... I honestly don't get it.
Then I watched the video. The applesauce explanation does clarify most of it...
