Watch the Vista ones
That has to be the funniest clip EVER! Plus I love the fact that the resolution is way above 320x240, makes it great for viewing on my 17in iMac.
WHAT?!?!?!
This is REALLY boring and old looking.It needs some help and better ideas, its junk. The bottom line: This is BORING!!
for Macophiles only...
Quite imperfect but fascinating to those of us who are mad for Apple and it's history.
