The Microsoft Invasion

As I was heading over to the school where I am going to be teaching (yes, I guess I decided I'm going to do it while I'm here), I saw an amusing ad while coming out of the train station at Stephansplatz. I don't think you can translate it literally. It pretty much means that you are inclined to be impressed by the features. What an advertising slogan! The other picture I am posting is of the Danube Canal. This was taken at the border of the 1st district and the 2nd district, not to far from where I'm going to be teaching. I was a few minutes early and was trying to kill a little time, so I figured I would take a picture. Before coming to Vienna for the first time last summer, I always thought that the Danube ran through the center of Vienna. Actually, it comes nowhere near the 1st district, and not even the canal flows through the 1st district. It is also certainly not "beautiful" or "blue," it's just another river. I'll post some pictures of the actual Danube sometime soon.

Almost correct. It is the Vista worldwide release promo. I just spent an entire day at a Microsoft Trade Show in Dallas learning all about WOW. Using it now and it is cool.
