In which Aquarion attempts to install Windows 7
Act One - The Morning
[Aquarion] Hello Windows 7 Beta Site, how are you?
[Windows 7 Beta Site] - 200 OK, sir. Can I supply you with a fresh
download media?
[Aquarion] Fetch hither the download with all haste, my good site.
[W7BS] … it's a bit… big, sir.
[Aquarion] I like it big. I positively delight in downloads of superior
size, and I cannot tell untruth.
[W7BS] I think it's bigger than you expected, sir…
[Aquarion] I don't care how fucking big it is, bring me the download
with all speed.
[W7BS] Oh. We can't sir. IE isn't capable of downloading 2.8 gig
files. I can give you a Java downloader
[Aquarion] … I'm not using IE.
[W7BS] It's a very nice Java downloader. Waffer thin.
[Aquarion] … We've just jumped sketches again. I'm a firefox user. I
use firefox. Your puny downloads are no match for my modern browser.
GIVE ME THE FUCKING ISO.
[W7BS] … It's a nice java downloader. It downloads the ISO. And it'll
resume if the connection fails. It's really neat.
[Aquarion] … Fine. Java. Do it.
[W7BS] Do you want to give permission to applications from Microsoft
corporation to fuck over your computer for all time?
[Aquarion] Fuck no. Just this once.
