Vista Upgrade Prank

vista upgrade
Do you have any microsoft evangelist in the office? Here’s a little prank that you can play on him/her. Just say that you have Microsoft’s tool to upgrade the current windows online.

This tool will build on his anticipation and waste his time (for about 30 seconds).

After the Upgrade Advisor our Vista Upgrade Prank will initiate a ‘fake’ Upgrade to Vista. This part includes many flashy icons and flavor text about the joys of upgrading to Vista. The user can click next or wait a few seconds and the upgrade to Vista simulation begins.

After 30 seconds or so the fake upgrader shows that the upgrade was successful and allows the user to close the upgrade program.
