That may be true, but that joke was made 8 years ago by a guy that died 4 years ago, at an event featuring two of the most prominent names in modern computing (Jobs and Gates). I think it's safe to say it has been posted here before, and everyone has already seen it...

"So"- it may also relate to the album by Peter Gabriel released 1986: kinda old stuff, but music still sounds good Smile | :)

when I think of Win X's pending release, why do I think of this ?

29-Jul-15 4:43

There are more than 11 million CP members, while the views count for this joke video is less than 7 million, thus, to the contrary of what you said above, there are about 4 million folks (at least) who may see it for the first time. Regarding the timing of that joke - well, it's much younger than the aphorism attributed to another prominent name (see below), which is included in your signature Big Grin | :-D

"A shape with lion body and the head of a man, 
A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun, 
Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it 
Reel shadows of indignant desert birds. 
The darkness drops again; but now I know 
That twenty centuries of stony sleep 
Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle, 
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last, 
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?"

His eyes were two slits that would make a snake proud
With a face that any painter would paint as he walked through the crowd
Worshipping a god with the body of a woman well endowed
And the head of a hyena

I am guessing a lot of people won't mind being moved away from Windows 8.

I think it'd more interesting to see what will annoy people with Windows 10, considering how angry people got over the start menu disappearing in Windows 8.

Try Grapple for Android, it has a naked pixel guy in it!
Also, loads of blood and some snakes.
