    Perhaps because it never had a blue screen of death?

    How long ago have you had a blue screen of death? I am pretty sure I did not have one during the last two years and the last ones I had would occur because of poor graphics hardware/driver combinations. Blue screen of death is definitely not a "feature" of windows any more.

      Lesse... Last week. My Dell Vostro notebook, while watching a DVD. Previous one was a month or two ago on my desktop, while debugging an app. Lucky me. -- Ian

        I didn't know that. How did you noticed it? [irony]I wonder if Pixar's owner is aware of this merchandising.[/irony] :rolleyes:

        Wall-e makes the same noise when he starts, that a Mac makes.

          What did you notice that makes you think Wall-E is a Mac? Haven't seen the film yet and I wouldnot like to miss the detail.

          Because when he starts up, he makes the same sound that a Mac makes.

            It may not be a feature, but it's at least an add-on. I don't get the BSOD often, but I do get it.

                Oh man - you got it free!? What version of Vista do you have? I think I had to pay extra for mine. :)

                    My daughter and I both noticed the heavy amount of 'targeted marketing' in Wall-E. We still enjoyed it, however.

                      So, I saw it again yesterday, this time without a squirming kid distracting me. I didn't notice the first time that WALL-E is a Mac. That was pretty cool. Overall, a great film, I look forward to buying it on Blu Ray.

                      I've already got it pre-ordered on DVD...difference is that I'm buying it as a Chritmas present for my 4-year old nephew. I might buy another copy for myself, though :-) I made a birthday card for my nephew out of a photo of Wall-E I'd taken[^] - he got more excited by that than the present I gave him :-)
