I Got My Own DVD-R Copy of Windows Vista... Shipped by Microsoft!
Author: Gabriel TorresDate: February 12, 2007 - 5:25 AM PST

Last Saturday I got my copy of Windows Vista, generously sent by Microsoft. The thing that immediately caught my eye was the “type” of copy they sent: a plain DVD-R. What is the message Microsoft is trying to send by shipping a DVD-R instead of an original copy to the press? It could be an OEM copy, I really don’t mind. But a DVD-R copy is really bad for their reputation. People say that a picture is worth a thousand words. See the picture below and make your own conclusions.
