Well…lol. Just lol.
That worked great thanks Anthony!
Priceless
I recommend he try to defrag if he is willing to try again.
Funny! (and unfortunately true for some users). This video really made me laugh. Seems the press is getting it!
Attention all investors: Shredder producing companies are a BUY due to the release of Microsoft Vista.
OMG, hahahaha!!!
What a tool. Everyone knows that applications have to be updated to be compatible. Thanks guy, you’ll have to give Microsoft more of your money when you have to buy it again!
Your potential. Our passion.
There is something to be said for not being “first to launch” (diarrhea-spattered Zune rushed out, fullscreen iPod/iPhone properly cooked; Vista “rushed” to be done before Leopard, Leopard comes out swinging, lean and mean).
Apple seems to be saying “No, after you, I insist…”…worked for Microsoft for decades. 😀
Funny, but it’s too bad this is adding to Microsoft’s numbers.
But which of the 10 versions did he install?
I believe that shredding a violation of the Windows EULA. Beware, Microsoft lawyers will be calling.
I recommend he try to defrag if he is willing to try again.
He shouldn’t have to. Defragging is soooo DOS.
Haha! I think I know why it wasn’t working! He’s a Mac fanboy trying to upgrade from Mac OSX! Silly Mac tool! 😀
Hahaha!
Very good video.
Shutup Zune Tang, why don’t you go back to your home on whore island?
“What a tool.”
Perfect description of yourself, Zune Tang. Your AWSOME! Your the perfect Microsoft Windows Butt Monkey Lemming Fan Dork and if your not already a member of Microsoft’s Cult of Blind Ignorance you should sign up NOW. You would be the perfect member, someone who can’t think for themselves.
Your a sad little piece of Zune.
For those of you who use Windows (on a PC or Intel-based Mac) and are thinking about upgrading to Windows Vista, the following Microsoft web page lists the system requirements:
<http://support.microsoft.com/kb/919183>
This applies to:
• Windows Vista Ultimate
• Windows Vista Starter
• Windows Vista Home Premium
• Windows Vista Home Basic
• Windows Vista Enterprise
• Windows Vista Business 64-bit edition
• Windows Vista Business
• Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit edition
• Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit edition
• Windows Vista Home Basic 64-bit edition
• Windows Vista Enterprise 64-bit edition
• Windows Vista Home Basic N
• Windows Vista Business N
• Windows Vista Business N 64-bit Edition
(there are actually 14 versions)
For Mac users who are looking at upgrading to OS X, you can see the system requirements on the following page (scroll down the page – they are in the middle column near the bottom of the page):
<http://www.apple.com/macosx/techspecs>
There is only one version of OS X.
:b
Magic word: “there” – there you go!
According to some reports Vista is selling well in the post Christmas market, especially the more expensive editions.

“I recommend he try to defrag if he is willing to try again.”
THAT. Killed me. =)

“There is only one version of OS X.”
Actually, there are two. And having loaded OS X Server on many occasions, I can say that it’s far simpler than installing any client Windows OS.
The lovely thing about OS X is that you can make the client version do just about anything the server version does. Oh, of course there are wonderful hardware monitoring tools and GUI interfaces that you don’t get in the client version, but all the important guts are there to host a web server, run a mail server, stream Quicktime content, run a RAID array…
Let’s see Vista Starter do that.

And yes, I realize that “GUI interfaces” is redundant.
OK ChrissyOne, I know that there are two… just pressing the point home

I think this guy did my taxes a few years ago.
Right before I went to jail.
Why does he remind me of that jewish guy from Jurrassic Park.. what’s his name?
The “uhh uuhhh…”s are very similar
” width=”19″ height=”19″ alt=”wink” style=”border:0;” />
And, to further your point Gordon, OS X runs on hardware from as far back as 1998, and the same version running without a hitch on that ’98 machine, will also run on the latest Apple hardware. ‘Nuff said.
“According to some reports Vista is selling well in the post Christmas market, especially the more expensive editions.”
What do you expect in Oz? They’ve always been upside down Or is that backwards? Especially in St Kilda.
I missed a period. OMG!
But the poor bastard fed the shredder a NEW version of Vista. You watched him unwrap it, right? Meaning it wasn’t the same disk he used at home, and he bought another disk just for shredding purposes (and probably expensed it). Meaning Micro$haft made bucks anyway.
Vista. The Yawn has dawned.
MW: “lead” me to OS X!
Reminds me of that old line I read awhile back…which I will update.
If you play the Windows Visata installation DVD backwards, you will hear satanic voices.
But that is nothing, if you play it forward, it installs WINDOWS.
This guy is good. He was able to find a driver for the machine to make it Vista compatible. Others will experience this:
1) Feb 07, 2007 – Install Vista –> blue screen of death
2) Feb 12, 2007 – Try to reinstall XP –> blue screen of death with crunching noises
3) Feb 21, 2007 – Buy a Mac –> Chunnggg!
MW: “Come” to the Social.
I missed a period. OMG!
May I suggest a pregnancy test before you go jumping to conclusions, Ron?
Great video! I listen to the Opie & Anthony Show everyday on XM radio and this guy is hilarious. They even give away Macbooks every once in a while for contest prizes!
I was just loading my new 80gb iPod and thought Apple should have a little battery indicator in iTunes. Tucked away into a corner somewhere, something to tell me when it’s fully charged without having to look at the iPod screen itself.
Just a thought.
@ R2
Your Hired, Report to Steve ASAP.
No really, killer Idea. I want that as well.
Does Apple accept tips anywhere on their website? Long as they get the idea and implement it, I don’t care about getting paid.
WOW! … …
MDN Magic Word: parts, like in ¨Here’s my foot in Bill’s parts…¨
Let us ponder….
Windows Vista Home Premium, Windows Vista Business, Windows Vista Enterprise, and Windows Vista Ultimate
• 1-gigahertz (GHz) 32-bit (x86) processor or 1-GHz 64-bit (x64) processor **(What….4 years back?)
• Windows Aero-capable graphics card **(Oh but then a special graphics card…that the NEED to list..)
Note This includes a DirectX 9-class graphics card that supports the following: **(don’t even want to think about this crap)
• A WDDM driver
• Pixel Shader 2.0 in hardware
• 32 bits per pixel
• 128 MB of graphics memory (minimum)
• 40-GB hard disk that has 15 GB of free hard disk space (the 15GB of free space provides room for temporary file storage during the install or upgrade.) **(When the hell did we need 15GB of “temporary file storage during the install or upgrade process……riiiggghhhhttttt)
• Internal or external DVD drive
• Internet access capability
• Audio output capability
OR…….
Requirements
* Macintosh computer with a PowerPC G3, G4 or G5 processor (Up to 8 YEARS OLD!)
* Built-in FireWire
* DVD drive for installation
* 256MB of RAM
* 3GB of available hard disk space (4GB if you install the developer tools)
Ahh, the simplicity. I have Tiger on a 4GB HD on a 333MHz PowerBook (Lombard) and it works fine. Yeah, it’s not as pretty as an Intel or even a powerpc for that matter….BUT IT WORKS.
A must see!
“Does Apple accept tips anywhere on their website? Long as they get the idea and implement it, I don’t care about getting paid.”
Yes. Sign up for a free Apple Developer Connection account (http://developer.apple.com/), and then submit bugs and feature requests to the Bug Reporter (http://bugreport.apple.com) for submissions.
(MW – develop!)
This will be seen by everyone… and its message won’t be lost.
As I have said before, do not expect to see any Microsoft senior management sticking their heads above the parapet for quite some time.
and so the backlash begins
Wow, this is a software experience — Squirt
Wait a minute there… was that the “A drive” or the “C drive” he loaded it into?
Darn it!
sheesh i’d be retiring too if ppl were shredding my products

HA HA. Chortle chortle, LOL.
To upgrade to Vista:
1. Make sure you have the minimum system requirements. If not, upgrade as necessary.
2. Make sure you have the latest Vista drivers for equipment found in step 1.
3. Make sure you have the latest software patches to fix everything that Vista breaks when you load it.
4. Load Vista.
5. Pray.
To Upgrade to Leopard:
1. Insert DVD. Follow on-screen instructions.
MDN MW – “second”, as in “Wait a second, why am I even bothering with Vista, I should just buy a Mac!!”
@R2, or anyone else for that matter…

So DOES Vista work well with MacTel BOOT CAMP?
Y’now what? There’s a Vista ad sitting next to this box. I click it. ‘Cause I wanna see the WoW! Start Now, y’know. So I click compare XP Pro to Vista. Y’now? ‘Cause I wanna see what I’m missin’. XP Pro don’t do nothin’. I mean NO THING! Vista’s got all these little check marks and balls and squares and geographical thingies and XP’s got two little zeroes under it’s name. And it made me think, “Damn! I gotta get me some of this!” And then I realized, “Damn! I don’t need this crap. I got a Mac!” Whew! I got all that and more! And what do I need with Windows SuperFetch? What does it do? I’ll tell you, right from the sight: “SuperFetch helps ensure that the computer and the open programs resume quickly from Sleep state.” Why do I need that? C’mon now, this is a feature to crow about? Vista ain’t nuthin’ but a raw-skinned punk with rag-tag droopy-drawers pickin’ blisters on his backside. Man! For the love of God and all that’s holy in heaven and on Earth, get a fsckin’ Mac already.
“So DOES Vista work well with MacTel BOOT CAMP?”
Not any better than it does on its own. Even Apple can’t polish that turd.
Thanks Me and fatal for that information.
I loved it!!!! I wonder if they did something like this for ME when it came out?
DEFINITELY forwarding this to everyone, for the giggle and the warning!
Reminds me of trying to update to new iPod from first generation.None of the software or connectors were compatible. Shame on both corporate leaches!!
