Can There Be 'Wow' in Vista Marketing?

Yesterday's Microsoft marketing bravado is just too funny. So now, 17 months after general availability, Microsoft will promote Windows Vista? Get a life. The big talk and promises came from Microsoft's Worldwide Partner Conference, in Houston, where Brad Brooks fessed up about Vista marketing mistakes and promised there would be response to Apple's "Get a Mac" ads. They say that confession is good for the corporate soul. I say that it's not good enough.

Microsoft should never have abandoned the original "Wow" Windows Vista marketing campaign. It brought new meaning to the term "marketing blitz." The campaign flashed by before anybody could blink and say, "Wow." Even if Microsoft executives loathed the ads, better to keep them than have nothing. I remain convinced that the Vista marketing campaign could have been very effective. The TV commercials were aspirational, potentially creating positive feelings about the then-mysterious Windows Vista.

Mac OS X 10.5.6 Released

Apple finally pushed out its 10.5.6 update for customers running Leopard today.

The update includes the usual system stability, security and performance enhancements, as well as supposed graphics enhancements for a better gaming experience.

As always, users on various Mac enthusiast communities are reporting that the update has made their systems feel a little "snappier", but truth be told, the same thing is said for almost all software updates at first ( almost all ), so we'll leave the judging up to you.

For the full release notes and download links, skip on over the links right below.

World of Warcraft 2.01 Patch Released - Big Changes!

Well the lead up to The Burning Crusade expansion for World of Warcraft is indeed in full swing now. Today Blizzard released the much anticipated 2.01 patch for WoW aptly named the "Calm before the Storm" patch. Indeed it is the "calm before the storm" as players gear (pun intended) up for the expansion big time. The 2.01 patch changes loads of things in the game, fixes tons of bugs/nagging things and overall changes the base game quite alot actually.

For starters PvP is given a total redo here, and its a pretty substantial update here folks. For one, the Honor system is now gone, instead we have a new system where Honor earned each day can be used as a sort of currency to buy gear/items. PvP rewards are no longer unique, two new Arenas have been added and can be played in several forms and all current Honor totals are nuked and reset. Everyone will have their talent points refunded to them when they log in tonight, as the talent trees are being revamped and changed for The Burning Crusade and the base game gets some of that loving as well. New abilities and talents are available for all classes.

A new "LFG" or Looking For Group UI thingie has been added to the game, to make things easier to find raid/instance/party partners now. A new improved enchanting UI is here, a new "Spell alert" bar which will show you when enemies are casting spells (default is off), and Auto-Loot is now available without a mod! There is just way to much to list here, seriously its alot of stuff! Its also a rather large patch, clocking in at about 490 megs! So download away (if you haven't already) and prepare to load in to the new improved "Calm before the storm" World of Warcraft. Oh and the server maintenance should be finishing up here within minutes - hopefully.
