The continual nagging of Windows Vista has been so popular (Do you want
this human to access the keyboard? repeat the lords prayer backwards if
Yes) that Microsoft has introduced a new version, modelled on a Jewish
mother; its’ so called hyper-nag technology. (Did you put on your thick
socks?, its cold out you know). It has all of the demented paranoia of
Windows Vista (Do you think you should be sitting so close to the
window, what about snipers?), but with a maternal twist (make sure your
bullet proof vest has a cotton underlay, you know you get rashes),
hyper-nag technology is expected to take off in a big way.
Microsoft nagging technology has been in development for more than a
decade, starting with Office Assistant (I see you’re writing a letter!!
Let me stop you with some cheesy graphics and irrelevant advice!!,
Thanks!), continuing on through Windows XP- (You do want to update!
Don’t you? You’ll go to hell if you don’t update, and switch that
firewall on now!), on to Vista (Don't plug that it, it could explode
then who will look after your computer?)
The small number of beta testers of Windows Nag that still possessed
the power of speech were looking forward to curling up into a foetal
ball and never touching a computer again.
