Tucked away in New York's trendy Tribeca neighborhood, there's a spectacular piece of 21st century PR called the Microsoft Home of the Fugure. We're intrigued by the concept, but we imagine living in an all-Microsoft dwelling place might have its drawbacks, including the following:
1. Unfriendly
Doormat says "Start" instead of "Welcome".
2. Infectious Outlook
Everyone in your family keeps contracting nasty viruses. Oddly, the neighbors in the Linux house never seem to get sick.
3. Burglar Magnet
Your home's architecture is riddled with hidden holes, back doors, and other security flaws.
4. Overpriced
Whenever you visit a foreign country such as Russia or China, you see houses that look exactly like yours but find out people bought them on the black market for a fraction of what you paid.
5. No Doors
Only windows.
6. Network Neighborhood
You can't share your home with anyone else. Every member of your family must bring his or her own house and then network it with yours.
7. Dirty Dishes
Microsoft doesn't offer drivers for your new dishwasher.
8. Fine Print
You must register your home with Microsoft within 30 days of purchase, or else the house will lock you out and void your warranty.
9. Slow and Unsteady
It takes forever to back up the drive, and then you crash.
10. One Word
Mice.
