Over at Global Nerdy, I’ve got the first article of a new series: The Tainted Vista Review in which I make reports about my experiences using Windows Vista on the laptop sent to me by the Microsoft-Acer-Edelman troika. As I state in the article, asides from saying “Thanks for the free laptop”, I’m not beholden to them. Simply put, my opinion and the laptop are as out of their control as their PR strategy is.
This first post covers installing XNA Game Studio Express, Microsoft’s tool that’s supposed to make it easy to develop games for both Windows computers and XBox 360 consoles.

Global Nerdy, indeed!
I still don't see what this has to do with your taint.
