I'm in Tibet right now, so will keep this somewhat brief.

For the next few hours I'll be sitting in this dingy internet cafe in Lhasa updating my blog with my travels. I happened to look down and on the monitor it says "works with windows vista". I find this quite humorous, of course it is going to work with vista, it is a normal generic monitor.

Anyhow, I guess there is a reason for marketing. Back to writing our travels.

Not that I really imagine this is anything more than meaningless marketing, but it could be a reference to having HDCP support for playing 'premium' content under Vista (with DRM and all that nastiness).

Most likely, it is just a sticker which when applied, magically increases the dollar value of the monitor (whilst simultaneously decreasing the actual value, by being ugly and stupid). Isn't marketing wonderful?
