    Knowing prime, that Vista box is going to stay buried in his yard until some unsuspecting soul digs it up far in the future. It may become the only record of Vista that is preserved for future generations.

    It's been eight long years since I was last excited for an OS. I passed over Vista because it was the suckiest suck that ever sucked. Even the RC of Windows 7 rocks, and I'll be downloading my Windows 7 Pro 64-bit tomorrow. Can't wait. Awesome video guys. So, did Thrax end up getting lucky?

    AWESOME video, guys. My favorite part was watching the Vista box fall into the hole. With the slow-mo, it was perfect. Well done, guys!

    I've never been (almost) choked up over the loss of an operating system before. The real tragic thing was the young Kid Vista was doomed from the start.

    She and I have been knockin' boots since December. That was her twin sister.

    I really hate to say it, but that pickup move was kinda of forceful and arrogant. You clearly broadcasted your intentions as soon as you laid your eyes on the box. I'm still impressed, didn't even try for Home Premium, went straight for Ultimate.

    I would quote GNR's I used to love her but I had to kill her, but I never loved Vista.

    Seriously, Vista is the bloated old hag that you won't miss that long after you get a glimpse of the slim, trim and fit sexiness that is Windows 7.

    Wow, good job you've done with the video. It would me cry if it wasn't Vista.
    Windows 7 ftw! I never had any issues with it until now, for months.

    Yeah guys, Snow Leopard rocks doesn't it?

    I still maintain that Vista was a great OS, ran it from the first beta and loved every minute of it, 7's much better but Vista was never the train wreck everyone said it was in my experience.

    I avoided the Vista problems by sticking with what works (for me). XP and IE6 ! :)

    I'm considering upgrading to 7 in a few months, I'll give everyone else some time to get the last minute details fixed, if there are any, before I have to deal with them myself. I need to make sure Windows Movie Maker works well in 7, and if I get it I'll go 64 bit so I can run ridiculous amounts of RAM.

    I'd like to hit it, and then quit it.

    Vista ran well on my boxes at home, but supporting it for clients has rarely been anything other than painful. I have seen first-hand all of the complaints against Vista.

    WMM is officially abandoned, but will still work in 7 if you're crafty. It has been replaced by Windows Live Movie Maker.

    I don't know about you guys, I've been seeing Mint lately. She makes me tingle.

    7 is just my booty call.

    Ahem, that's like saying you're not going to upgrade because you don't know whether Paint still works. Time to stop cutting video with a rubber spatula.
