Everything seems to be running smoothly, like a whistle. I’m so glad to be rid of Vista once and for all. 
But the best thing about it is, I only paid £12.78 instead of £100-odd. Mwahahahahaha! I guess Acer’s good for something after all.

It has finally arrived! Backing up my files right now. Unfortunately, it’s almost 500GB of data. So it’s going to take bloody hours. Oh well, I’m just glad I’ve got it at last.
See you on the other side.
I’m sorry, but I just had to laugh at this.

We recently reported on FOX’s Seth MacFarlane variety show – Family Guy Presents: Seth & Alex’s Almost Live Comedy Show – and how it was part of an “ambitious and unique marketing collaboration” with Microsoft to help showcase the best of Windows 7. Well now, according to Variety, Microsoft has dropped out of the partnership after their executives were shocked by the Family Guy-style humor they heard at the October 16th taping of the special.
Straight from the “what were they thinking? files, it looks as if the execs were not prepared for jokes about the deaf, the Holocaust, incest and feminine hygiene. In short, it seems like none of them had ever actually watched an episode of Family Guy before.
The special will still air as planned, on November 8th, but with a different, TPD corporate partner.
“We initially chose to participate in the Seth and Alex variety show based on the audience composition and creative humor of ‘Family Guy,’ but after reviewing an early version of the variety show it became clear that the content was not a fit with the Windows brand,” said a Microsoft spokesperson. “We continue to have a good partnership with Fox, Seth MacFarlane and Alex Borstein and are working with them in other areas. We continue to believe in the value of brand integrations and partnerships between brands, media companies and talent.”
Microsoft might be done with the “Almost Live Comedy Show,” but the rest of the marketing deal, some of which still includes Family Guy, remains in place.
Like I even need to mention it. But yes, Windows 7 is out. Go and get it, and be rid of that ghastly Operating System that is known as Windows Vista. I am currently awaiting my copy of it, but due to the fucking postal strike by Royal Mail, I won’t be getting it on time.
Just placed an order for a free Windows 7 upgrade. Vista Home Premium qualifies me for Windows 7 Home Premium, fair enough. Lets just hope it isn’t as crap as Vista. 
I’ve lost track of how many times I’ve had to uninstall and reinstall iTunes because it’s had an argument with QuickTime and they’re no longer speaking to eachother. I’m doing it right now in fact. Apple really needs to ditch QuickTime, what other use is it apart from playing videos? This love-hate relationship has gone on for far too long. I’m sure there are plenty of better players that people can use outside of iTunes to play their videos, and then there’s always their iPod itself.
The worst part of it all is that you need the most up-to-date version of iTunes and QuickTime for them to work properly, and the only place you can get them is Apple’s website. But the iTunes install file is approx. 75 MB and QuickTime’s is 20 MB, so it takes fucking ages to download the bastards and then you have to install them and then restart your computer for each one after they finish!
EDIT: Just did some snooping and I found this. All I can say is, thank fuck for that! Microsoft have now convinced me to buy Windows 7.
