A Wow Moment - Microsoft Site Actually Working On Opera
A letter from Bill Gates is inviting people to share 'wow moments' concerning Vista.
A "wow moment" is "when you recognize that your life has changed". The wow moments that Bill Gates list includes is when Intel released the 8080 processor in 1974, the birth of his children, Warren Buffet's donation to the Gates foundation. Vista, Gates considers, will give and has given people these moments.
The website where you can share your wows doesn't work very well with any browser other than IE. Firefox doesn't load the site at all and Opera loads it but doesn't show any wows but will not allow anyone to enter a wow. By preventing other browsers from being able to post anything I assume Microsoft can block the people who may post any negative comments.
For those against the DRM in Vista, DefectiveByDesign.org will be outside the launch of Vista in New York near Times Square to share their "wow moments". Together with BadVista.org they will be distributing leaflets discussing the dangers of the DRM in Vista.
They will be meeting first at Cipriani's on 42nd Street from noon then moving on to the Nokia Theater from 2 pm. People who will be in the area are encouraged to sign up.
