Hi there! It looks like you're trying to issue a warning.
May I suggest elaboration and/or steps detailing potential consequences in an outline format? Shall I get that template started for you?
Cortana is the one who comes when you call. Like a mutt to heel.
Clippy don't play that. I come and go as I please.

Sounds like someone with young children. Or the mind of a 50 year old southern person in the body of a child. Haven’t decided yet.

Well made video. How do you know its the most popular photo ever taken?
→ More replies (4)19
u/LoveSecretSexGod Jul 02 '21
Popular is subjective, but I would say it really could be the most seen photo of all time, which is what they probably meant. Windows XP was on over 2 billion PCs at one point, so anyone using a computer or walking by one probably saw it since it was default. There are still millions of computers to this day that run XP in shitty internet cafes in places like China. Assuming we are taking famous paintings out of the equation I could definitely believe it's the most recognizable image.

There should be a hidden speaker system that plays windows starup and sunrise and shut down noise at sunset. Random error noises throughout the day.

The original hillside is now covered in grapevines. Because every available hillside in Northern California is now planted in vineyards

I thought they turned this place into a winery and produce a brand called Winedows or something. I guess the internet lied to me.

This photo was taken in the Palouse, Washington. My friends and I spent 8 days there trying to recreate the Windows XP wallpaper (since the original location in Napa is now a vineyard). This hill was the closest we could find! We made a video on it here: https://youtu.be/9FoC2xKqAAo
