Life without Walls?

Are they serious? I know this advert has been out sometime now but I have seen 1 comedian on Youtube laying in to Microsoft but no one in the mainstream.

Walls sound useful to an operating system as insecure as Wind0ws:

used for shelter, protection, or privacy, or to subdivide interior space, to support floors, roofs, or the like, to retain earth, to fence in an area, etc.

So does life without walls seem like a good idea to you? and further more how did the marketing dept not manage to spot this?

Initial reports about windows 7 have been very positive but we will see.

And what is this advert?

Low Cost – Petabyte Storage

Meet the Backblaze:

Insane Sotrage!

A Backblaze Storage Pod is a self-contained unit that puts storage online. It’s made up of a custom metal case with commodity hardware inside. Specifically, one pod contains one Intel Motherboard with four SATA cards plugged into it. The nine SATA cables run from the cards to nine port multiplier backplanes that each have five hard drives plugged directly into them (45 hard drives in total).
