Secret Microsoft Blog: Vista DOA, Get ready for Seven deadly sins
There’s a lot of blogs written by anonymous insiders. These folks have direct or indirect access to secret product info… Apple had ThinkSecret… Research In Motion has Boy Genius… What about Microsoft? Doesn’t anyone even care what they’re cooking? Well here ShippingSeven – supposedly written by a coder who’s working on Windows 7. He claims that MS has given up on Vista and is feverishly trying to bring 7 to market… Some have wondered if this “unsanctioned” blog is really a Microsoft marketing ploy? Seems unlikely, the writer is too much a fan of Apple gadgets!
A secret Microsoft memo describes Seven this way…
The most viscerally frightening and disturbing homicidal maniac picture since The Silence of the Lambs, Seven is based on an idea that’s both gruesome and ingenious. A serial killer forces each of his victims to die by acting out one of the seven deadly sins.
No wait… that’s the movie Seven. And besides, they already used the “viscerally frightening” campaign for the Vista launch.
