so whats hot on campus?
According to this article that I read on CNN, undergrads rate apple products (ipod etc) as more "in" compared to beer.
Now when your choices on campus are bud or even better "bud light", honestly, does this come as a surprise? (yes, you guessed it, Im not a bud fan!) Im petrified of going back to college and having to pay huge amounts to drink decent beer (the good news is that carona is cheaper than the netherlands)
among other things, Im beta testing the next Microsoft OS (vista) to be realeased early next year and also have access to outlook2007 and msoffice 2007. A lot of improvements I might add.
But the point which I note is that the company has forgotten everything about innovation. Its all about adaptation now. It has a lot of neat features in it, but none of them are revolutionary or new. they are just amalgamations of great products already out there, cast into the windows OS. Personally, Im glad I sold my MSFT shares earlier last year. Im still a die hard X-box fan though :)

As a fellow Beta tester, I totally agree about the lack of innovation. This is why I am super excited about Google's web based version of Excel!

Dude
You should get used to Bud, it's not so bad. It's cheaper than corona at under $12/20 pack ;)
When u mentioned bud, i first though you were referring to the other kind of bud - the one that's legal in Amsterdam ;)
don't worry - we'll pay huge amounts to drink fabulous imported beer. I go for Chimay myself, its a bargain at $8.99 :)
