Just when you were getting to like XP.......

Apparently, the next version of Windows - Windows Vista, is going to have 6 flavours available to the public to help suit specific needs.

MMmmm yeah:

1. Vista for typical home users. Nothing different at all from XP - just a shiny new desktop background to fool the millions that will spend money on the upgrade.
2. Vista for power users. It will require all new hardware to function. It will have all sorts of DRM technology built in to prevent you from burning copies of DVD Movies and Music CDs. Someone will have hacked a fix to let you copy anything you want before the operating system even hits the store shelves.
3. Vista for users with obsolete computer hardware. It will come packaged with the only program that you'll be able to run on your pathetic 2006 hardware - Calculator. Every time you open Calculator, it will ask if you want to quickly estimate what it will cost for you to buy a better computer that will run Vista....
4. Vista for rednecks. It comes with a USB-powered scented oil atomizer that makes your computer room smell like the tailpipe of a Dodge Ram 3500 Mega-cab with a 5.9litre Cummins Turbo Diesel. Camouflage coloured computer case cozy - extra.
5. Hasta-La-Vista. This is the version IT departments at work will secretly install for anyone who has given the IT staff a hard time in the past. It will allow you to do your work for random amounts of time with no trouble at all - then, without warning - perform the most spectacular and irreversable operating system crash right when the most important document you've ever created is just about to be saved after hours of work. This feature may come standard on most other versions of Vista too, but on this particular model, it will be advertised as a 'feature'.
6. Vista for Corporations. Corporations have money to burn and Vista will help them burn it in style. This version of Windows comes with so much crap built in that you'll have to reboot it before you leave work in order to be able to use it first thing the next morning. It will be very secure. All those network shares? Not gonna happen. Company Intranet web page? 404 - all the time. Your CPU usage meter will be pegged at 100%, even when you think you're doing nothing. Your bosses will be so impressed......
