> " Don't waste your money, go buy Windows!, July 16, 2007 By Ernesto
Granillo III


I have been using computers for well over 4 years now and can say that this
was one of the worst games I had ever purchased. For one, in order to even
install the game you have to completely ERASE ALL YOUR DATA! I did not know
this when I installed and lost almost all of my hotmail messages. Second, I
was really suprised that this did not run on my wife's apple macintosh. In
this day and age, is it really acceptable that software only run on dell
computers, but not on apple or even IBM's? Well, I always try to look at the
glass half full, so I continued installed and found that not only had my
start menu had moved to the top, but all my programs had been moved around.
I couldn't even find the "Notepad" word processor. I finnally gave up when I
couldn't find limewire or internet explorer installed anywhere, so I gave up
and threw my computer away and bought a brand new laptop instead."

I don't think this is funny at all, most because it's so badly written.
There are too much that don't make sense. Such as he seems to think that
Ubuntu is a game, BUT he says "go buy Windows", so obviously he thinks that
Windows is a game too.

Another reason that I don't think this is funny, is that most Windows users
are even more ignorant than this writer pretends to be, so he completely
fails to exceed reality. Real Windows users actually COULD think that they
lost their hormail messages by installing something new on their computer,
and they wouldn't even have a second thought about it. But OK, I actually
found that hotmail statement somewhat funny. :)

Also, I only find it confusing that he says that he's surprised that it
didn't run on a Mac, but as he also says that "go buy Windows", this would
only make sense if he easily can install Windows on the very same Mac.

It's however somewhat funny that he actually mentioned Notepad and "word
processor" in the same sentence.

But still, this review COULD be real. There actually are people like that
out there.
