Bringing Linux to the Masses
Well not really, it’s just a funny little ad by techradar I found in the Linux Format Special Edition “CODE IT!”
/*
TOP SECRET Microsoft(c) Project:Longhorn(TM) SP1
Estimated release date:2008
*/
#include “win95.h”
#include “win98.h”
#include “leopard.h”char chew_up_some_ram[10000000];
void main () {
while (!CRASHED) {if (first_time_install) {
make_10_gigabyte_swapfile();
do_nothing_loop();
search_and_destroy(FIREFOX | OPENOFFICEORG | ANYTHING_GOOGLE);
hang_system();
}if (still_not_crashed) {
basically_run_windows_xp();
do_nothing_loop();
}
}if (!DX10GPU()) {
set_graphics(aero, very_slow);
set_mouse(reaction, sometimes);
}// printf(”Welcome to Windows 2000″);
// printf(”Welcome to Windows XP”);
printf(”Welcome to Windows Vista”);while (something) {
sleep(10);
get_user_input();
sleep(10);
act_on_user_input();
sleep(10);
flicker_led_promisingly(hard_disk);
}creat_general_protection_fault();
}
Now that the Vista code is revealed, MS coders please step aside and let the real Open Source coders salvage what your foolish hands wrought! ![]()

Jesus Christ. This is the most retarded thing I’ve seen all day.
I have a blacklist of site URL’s that my friends and I contribute stupid sites to so we don’t randomly come across them. This one post is getting your site put on that list. Congratulations.

I’m sorry, I’ve been a little anal retentive lately. It’s because I feel ashamed that… as it saddens me to say, I am a homosexual. I feel like it cheapens me but it gives me the cheap thrills. I’ve always seen myself as a straight arrow, but I don’t know.
Once again I apologize for being an asshole.

Lolfag.
With that being said, anyone else find it ironic he used the words anal retentive?
With those being said, I highly doubt you are gay. And seriously, why would you even post that this site is getting blacklisted? Are you a fag or something?

well more like that first dot post was probably an entirely different person than the first dot post. I know I am not the same dot as either before me…

I don’t see a “make_fucking_paper_clip_appear” function. Is this just a developer’s copy or what?

Yup, Vista just borrows from XP and older versions, has a different, look and demands a hell of a lot more power for nothing, I was very happy to upgrade from Vista back to the more stable, tried and tested XP.
Yes, I do mean upgrade!
When they pull the plug on XP, I’m off to Ubuntu!

The code didn’t bother me so much as the last comment, “please step aside and let the real Open Source coders”.
What does open-sourceness have to do with it? What the hell. The truth is, and this is something I’ve had to learn the hard way a few times now, is that open-source projects’ code in average sucks.
As for the joke itself, it wasn’t funny because there was no indents.
