Gizmodo Steals the Idea I stole from Perlow

Since the genesis of this blog was a great article by ZDNet writer Jason Perlow I can’t complain, but Gizmodo has “stolen” my idea and now they’re getting featured on ZDNet.  Do I feel cheated?  Nah!  Well, at least not nearly as cheated as I do by Vista, the bimbo.

The Morning After

Ok, so this morning I awoke wondering if my purchase of windows7classaction.com was a late night pizza-induced dream. But nope, the blog is still here. In contrast to my Vista purchase I can’t say I have any “buyers regret” on the domain. However, a lot of people have taken the Vista plunge and then chosen to downgrade back to XP.

Windows 7 Class Action

I overslept this morning and after dropping my son off at school in a driving cold rain I hit Dunkin Donuts and returned home fortified with sugar and caffeine. Roused from my stupor by my guilty pleasures I began browsing my email when a ZDnet article grabbed my attention: Why Windows 7 Should Be Free. I admit I’m sometimes a sucker for hyperventilating blog titles, but the logic was immediately apparent to me and I raced through the article as sugar, caffeine, a brilliant idea, and the sweet smell of revenge coalesced into a sudden desire to DO something. “I’m mad as “H – E – double L and I’m not gonna take it any more”, I said to myself.
