Uber Geek Song

When I posted about testing Windows Vista Beta 1 Gid thought I needed my own gingle.

Sung to the tone of Super Freak

He’s an uber geek
uber geek
uber geeky

Apparently Ben thought the song was fitting, so he took the time to write out the whole song (based on Super Freak).

At first I couldn't believe they were calling me a geek, then I thought, how many geeks have their own theme song? This makes me more than just a regular geek. This makes me an Uber Geek.

Uber Geek by Ben

He's a very geeky boy, The kind that will fix your PC
And once the fix'in is all done, You can throw him on the street.
He likes to feel useful, he's says he feels like he is my favorite,
When I need him at my PC he always makes the time,
He always ready to please

The boy is really smart now (That boys an uber geek)
The kind of boy you laugh at (everytime you see)
That boy is pretty handy (That boys an uber geek)
I make him fix my PC (every time we meet)
He's a nerd, he's a nerd, that boys a nerd you see, yeah, he-he-he
He's a uber geek, uber geek, he's uber geeky, yeow
Everybody sing, uber geek, uber geek

He's a very special geek, (the kind of geek you want to know) From his fingers to brain, (up to his brain, yeah) Yes he will wait to fix my PC with his other geeky friends, in his pinto green (Going back in Office) Three PC not a problem he says, (Fix them all, ooh, la-la!) Cube 314 he is waiting When I get there he is drinking Dew and playing doom, It's such a geeky scene
The boy is really smart now (That boys an uber geek)
The kind of boy you laugh at (everytime you see)
That boy is pretty handy (That boys an uber geek)
I make him fix my PC (every time we meet)
He's a nerd, he's a nerd, that boys a nerd you see, yeah, he-he-he
He's a uber geek, uber geek, he's uber geeky, yeow
Permutations sing! (Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh)
Uber geek, uber geek, the boy's an uber geek

He a very gekky boy, the kind that will fix your PC
And once the fix'in is all done, just throw him on the street
Defrag daddy!

Screenshots: Windows Vista Beta 1

The Beta 1 is very similar so far to Windows XP in appearance and usability. However I understand that the Beta will not be as visually impressive as the final release, or even Beta 2. Screenshots are taken using the standard Windows Vista Beta 1 theme Aero. I expect the look of Windows Vista will improve drastically as new versions are released and graphic card makes have a wider range of suitable video card drivers. It looks like Beta 1 has been stripped of its bells and whistles.

Standard Desktop after clicking on Start then All Programs

New Windows Explorer

The new version of Internet Explorer (IE7). Finally it has tabbed browsing, but I am still not sure if it is standard compliant.

Windows Vista Beta 1

Unless you have been living under a rock you know that Microsoft has been making a new version of Windows. Previously it was known as code name ‘Longhorn’, but has recently been officially named Windows Vista.

Last night I downloaded the new Windows Vista Beta 1. It was a grooling 9 hour download. It should have been faster, but the MSDN (Microsoft Developer Network) server was only transferring at a rate of 70-80 kbs. I would have thought they would have faster servers.

When the massive 2.5G ISO file was completed I burn the image to DVD. Now all I have to do it install it. Unfortunately I am at work right now so I can't. When I get it installed I will be sure to upload some screenshots.
