I saw that a few days ago. Cracked me up. "Even this machine won't accept it!"

I have seen it before and it makes me laugh but, even if I or someone else does not care for Vista, that is a large waste of $$$ to just shred it like that. Sell it. Give it to a friend.

When Anthony (the guy in the video from Opie & Anthony) tried to originally install Vista, he said on his radio show that he had his Macbook next to the Dell surfing the web (with the Mac) trying to figure out what was going wrong with the Vista instillation. It was really funny!:D

I honestly have a hard time believing his brand new computer was COMPLETELY incompatible with Vista. My 4 year old PC can run Vista Business without a hitch. He must have been doing something very wrong. And what a serious waste of money just to make a smear video. Some of the comments were true, some people just have way too much time and money on their hands.

I couldn't help but laugh at a fanboy comment toward the bottom that said he is currently running Leopard and the best windows OS was '98.

I can't imagine it'd be difficult to scan and print a CD label and manual that's convincing enough for youtube resolution. Funny, though :)

That is a good point but the DVD did look pretty real. I would hope it was a fake at those prices though!!

I can't figure out if the reply was serious or making fun of the guy. The comments seem to be taking it serious, but I always take an intentional slow clap as ripping on the other person.

I also watching the guy starting Vista for the first time. Completely lame. The idiot was making a issue of it STILL INSTALLING!! When I start Vista on my MBP, it is very fast.

These fanboys need to get together and slap each other on the back for how clever they think they are. That's why I like M-F, no real fanboys, just real, normal people.
