WOL Question

[ABigBrassBand]

I've heard that M$ will be bringing the pavilion back to life, is this true/confirmed?

 

[Master Gracey 5]

Forgive my density but I'm terrible at all these abbreviations - who is M$?

Regardless, given how stripped down it was when I went in for the Food and Wine Festival, I doubt that its coming back. The only potential rumor I'd place stock in would be to gut/demo it and build a replacement.

 

[Thrill Seeker]

Microsoft. That's been a rumor, but I doubt that will happen. I could see Microsoft picking up Mission: SPACE though...

It is rummored that Microsoft will have a TS where odyesse is.

Microsoft sponsoring M:S would be cool. Though, the X-2 sims would probably go Blue Screen of Death every time they were woken up from Hypersleep. I can also imagine being in Mission Control, and having a little anthropomorphic paper clip pop up and say "It looks like you have a Planetary Drive Fault in Bay 1. Do you need some help with that?"

Micorsoft does not need WDW.

 

[Master Gracey 5]

Thanks for the clarification.

I agree they are better suited to M:S than WOL. As I said on the Pavilions thread, I don't see HP dropping anytime soon despite rumors. Of course I've been wrong before.

Love it! They'd have to make the "engineer" hold the power button force the shut down sequence.

If Bill were to take residence in the WOL dome, odds are pretty good the pavilion would no longer be about health and life. More likely it would be about computers and technology.

Well, the Bill Gates foundation does have a huge international health focus.

Then it's possible. It'd just be an odd name association. One does not normally hear Microsoft and then think "health". Quite the opposite, actually. (Looking at you fat kids)

lol! That would be awesome... We could have the Windows start up music play when powering up...

While I think this rumor is totally bogus, your comment is a bit unfair.

Microsoft, as a company, invests heavily in the healthcare industry.

How is my comment unfair? I said it was possible.

Eh. This bit.

Get Apple to sponsor WOL and Microsoft to sponsor M:S. The theme would be great. They could include crash scenes in Mission Space. The story could go like this; As we are about to approach mars, the rocket crashes. or maybe it doesn't, because with Microsoft, one never knows.

With WOL and Apple, I can't think of something funny yet.

Bill Gates is a huge health philanthropist. The biggest in the world in fact. Because of it, he is no longer the richest man in the world. Seriously, check the latest Forbes. He's donating loads of his money away for research and distribution in vaccines. Now some Mexican dude is top-dog.

That said, it would be just odd for a company largely controlled/influenced by the likes of Steve Jobs to strike a deal with Microsoft. Weird things happen though.

It has happened before. MS invested $150 million in Apple back in 1997.

Well it's true. Most discussions about Microsoft have people instantly talking about computers. If you're anxious about the fat kids joke, well, too bad. I was a fat kid at one time because all I ever did was sit on the computer. I can say it.
