    Omg it was released!

    The source code is as follows:
    /*
      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[100000000];
    
    void main() {
      while (!CRASHED) {
         
        if (first_time_install) {
            make_10_gigabyte_swapfile();
            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);
     }
     create_general_protection_fault();
    }

    I would say that should go in the humour forum, but it's lacking the necessary ingredient...

    Lmfao :D
    they wouldn't understand it in the Humour forum


  • Registered Users Posts: 283 ✭✭FrDougalMcguire


    You mean theres actually source code behind it all????:eek:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 891 ✭✭✭conceited


    Put the least amount of code into a loop ....

    [PHP]while (something) {
    sleep(10);
    get_user_input();
    sleep(10);
    act_on_user_input();
    sleep(10);
    flicker_led_promisingly(hard_disk);
    }
    create_general_protection_fault();[/PHP]

    What terrible programmers them microsoft people are....

    Ugh that really is awful. Appealing to a select few people who find it funny only because they understand it. Terrible.

    Hence it being put in the 'Windows' forum and not the 'humour' forum...

    Let me guess, you love Microsoft? :P
