Walt Mossberg's Guide to Surviving Windows 7

[Epineiro24500]

He's talking bad about windows 7 and Steve Ballmer so you can switch to a Mac. He so funny with his lies and everything.

[frankheninja1]

It's Walt Mossberg SHUT UP!!!

sudo apt-get install linux-was-invented-by-bert-mac­klin-of-the-fucking-fbi-header­s-2.6.39-686

[dpbertable]

In recent years I've learned nothing from Mossberg that I couldn't learn from reading a product's website.

[JoelB3783]

Lol i like u guys u act sorta neutral, and make shots at all oses lol.

[MrNicksterW]

sudo apt-get install shut-up-linux-is-the-best

[bakhirun]

Excellent! Lovely! Wonderful Mr. Hogg!

You know I used to run around with your daughter Ima. We'd bill and coo in my Duesenberg Murphy "J" and then she'd fly me around in her Waco biplane and she'd do Immelman turns while I fingered her moist microsoft orifice. Ah but that's another thread.

[theeponym]

Don't expect Linux to save you either. That drunken idiot's running through the streets trying to convince every one he's a real man because he drew genitals over his Ken doll crotch with a Sharpie!

[TheRealdpb95]

I had Windows 7 and I have herpes right now.

Good that I have a MacBook now.

[educate9946]

I did not get the ray gun. Ripped off :(

[mdog1310]

FAG

[WindowsVistaMan14]

i use Windows 7 and it doesn't give you herpes it's better than Mac OS X

[aidje]

So true: the Extended Editions had some messed up stuff. Gandalf's staff being broken? pshaw.

[Srbjan]

lol

[LordEyli]

lol so damn true, apple replaces ipods without receipts because it wants you to feel good about having a cpu and memory and a bunch of other shit covered with shit that you can't open and shit that you have to jailbreak to actually use. nice job steve.

[edithpedroza34162]

I have already been using Windows 7 for about a few weeks now and it's great. If anyone you know wants it, you may down load it via Windows7FreeDLXcom (replace X with . ) at no cost.

[Danny77uk]

"Windows 7 will continue the conversation in Elvish..."

HAHAHA LMAO

[Y0utubeIsMistagged]

Windows 7 and Vista are practically the same in driver recognition anything else is lazy technology and eye-candy to impress the populace and compete with the OS X themes.

Why not just say XP is better?

[twjr80]

Mac users did have to upgrade their computers to be able to run Snow Leopard.

[Danny77uk]

@twjr80 Only if they were really old. And every new version of OSX has been faster on the same hardware, not slower.

[HowlsFury]

Windows 7 is rather nice imo

[pwntalive]

LOL, its funny to make fun of Microsoft products, because they aren't used by cool people and they have a huge market share.

[geraldbret]

only tools think they are cool by being branded by "cool" products. aka people going around by macs cuz its "fresh" and "hip." most of problems that supposedly plague windows are caused by moronic people that cant think for two seconds about they are doing to their computer. but alas i strayed from my point. but i do agree with your first statement, making fun of Microsoft products is funny

[oraqol]

@geraldbret Come to Linux. It's so nice over here!  Weeeee! [Sparkles] :~#sudo apt-get install joy

[TheCheezWizz]

Cool people don't use computers at all. Nerd.

[OriginalZero]

lol favorited for sure lol. do you have your videos for download? i want to put them on my iphone to show to my friends lol

[Cyrathil]

Some of the "What will 7 do to you" sound like some of the things from Weird Al Yankovich's "Virus Alert", or at least it reminded me a lot of it while listening.

[dezodude]

im currently running the windows 7 rc, and i have to say this:

"thank fuck its nothing like vista"

thats right the windows 7 rc is much more stable and efficient than vista! this is a big turn around of microsoft and bill should be proud of his programers ... what you think he made this? its works for christ sake he must of hired someone

[TheCheezWizz]

since when has bill gates been listed as "programmer"? It's his fucking company. That means he doesn't do shit. Hell, I think it's even extremely old news that he isn't running things anymore either.

[dezodude]

quote:

"and bill should be proud of his programers"

where in that comment did i state that bill was a programmer? and then later on in comment i proceeded to say that bill hadnt made it windows 7

quote:

"what you think he made this?"

seriously dude WHAT THE FUCK read the comment before attempting to troll yeh?

[TheCheezWizz]

That'd be great except I think I was replying to another comment, possibly not even in this video, and lost track of things, so whatever I said really doesn't apply to your comments at all.

[TheCheezWizz]

Looking back though, You said "its works for christ sake he must of hired someone ". There's some implication that he did all programming beforehand.

[dezodude]

i may no be completely clued up on bill gates but i would presume that since he was the founder of microsoft that he made windows? i may be wrong, and if it is the case that he made the original windows then that would make him a programmer?

[TheCheezWizz]

Well, as far as I know, Gates didn't do much programming as Microsoft. I'm at least 70% sure he had no major role in handling the code for the OS(es) he made.

[crator007]

Lol are you mentally ill? he was one of the main programmer's who created ms-dos, and windows nt. He created the company because he was very interested in programing.

[TheCheezWizz]

@crator007 Someone doesn't know very much here, and it's not me...

[crator007]

@TheCheezWizz Zero arguments, therefore your proposition is useless.

[TheCheezWizz]

@crator007 Then you're just retarded, as you're the one who needs to tell me WHY what I say is wrong. I love how everything I say is useless but I'm just supposed to take everything you say as the absolute truth. Except you haven't provided me with anything to say I was wrong. You just say I'm wrong. Guess what, though? MS-DOS wasn't "created" by anyone at microsoft. It was BOUGHT. Heard of something called QDOS? That's what it is.

[TheCheezWizz]

@crator007 Granted, it was worked on by microsoft for a long time after, but you still have to show me something that says specifically "Bill Gates really did work on this and didn't actually just stand to the side while microsoft employees did the work" as it has been for ages.

[Danny77uk]

@crator007 Um you realize DOS was created by someone else and then bought by Microsoft right?

[NomadSoul76]

Oh if only it came with a microwave ray gun. That'd be a killer premium.

[jarlaxle00]

I just wanted to try out the newest OS and now I have the herpes. Thanks a God damned lot Microsoft. At least downloading pornography is very efficient.

[icpaul001]

Did this one have a new person doing the voice? It just wasn't the same.

[mrhogg]

Same voice. I had to do some looping, which killed a bit of the spontaneity of it.

[stradric]

Haha, that was a good one. Well done.

[HotShotbg]

:D :D :D :D

[misticity24]

Lmao I can't stop laughing! Really thanks for this extremely funny videos keep em coming :)

[MixesAndStuff]

hahaha genius

[1Pelito1]

honestly I prefer his interpretation on regular costume and office setting.

But anyways, is always good to change stuff to explore ideas.

good job!

[petergould]

Great work. Laughed out loud. Nicely written and performed.

[godlyzombie]

oh! i take it back! the multiple "shut up"s at the end brings it all together, your shut ups worked perfect in this case :D

seriously motivates me to playing around with puppetry. really brings out the excited kid in me.

[godlyzombie]

i think your Walt Mossberg is hilarious. it really is one of my favorite thing to watch lately. the audio in this is a little distracting, how it cuts to silence when hes not talking. also the "shut up!" didn't feel as strong this time. but i still love it and look forward to see more! i'm a fan, SHUT UP!

[jengo1]

Windows 7 makes me giggle. Back to having a blast getting shit done in OS X.

[djnotfound]

You've brightened up a very depressing weekday with em Mossberg puppets!

Keep up the good work!

[joelesler]

Why do you sound like John Wayne?

[mrhogg]

Because that's the voice that felt the most like Mossberg.

[solmssen]

the tiny script between the larger lines in the title cards is illegible due to video compression. I want all the jokes, so make it a little bigger next time? I love these and watch them avidly...

[mrhogg]

Did you try looking at it in the HQ version?

[GrimHeaperThe]

@mrhogg I blame windows 7

[btipling]

My prerelease version of windows 7 has blocked this video and slapped me on the forehead. What was it about?

[scottmagdalein]

Hilarious. Is that supposed to be John Wayne's voice?

[Fleshman03]

These are possibly the funniest things on the interwebs... ever! Might I suggest wrapping them up into a PodCast?

[ottoman42]

How come the audio and the voice and editing all got worse?

[mrhogg]

I had to redub, so there were sync issues, but what do you mean about the voice? Do you mean the quality of the voice performance?

[ottoman42]

I just think the voice slipped between the now familiar one to the original one here and there for very short periods of time. I'd also look into soundsoap type of plugins.

[artfuldodga]

you can hear slight static i think

[artfuldodga]

some kind of feedback and the cutoffs... lol i'm no editing expert :)

[mrhogg]

I had some issues with this one; need to upgrade my setup.

[mjrmjr3]

Voice performance by the actor was hilarious. There is really noticeable static in the audio toward the end.

[merciel]

Great job! This is so awesome! My favorite one yet! I so want to subscribe to the Wall Street Journal right now.

[unsupported]

This video is so much full of win. The editing was spot on with the jokes. Please keep it up! The only thing that would have been better is if Walt would have started screaming quotes from Alien "GAME OVER MAN! GAME OVER! WHY DON'T YOU PUT HER IN CHARGE MAN!".. but honestly, I could not seem him doing that.

[HymerSchmidt]

It'd be more accurate if the goatee was more strangely crooked. I've never seen it mentioned before, but Walt's goatee goes well off to the left side of his mouth -- while it doesn't on the right.

[naboob]

does anyone know if Mossberg knows about these hilarious videos?

[mrhogg]

I assume so ... I've heard back from half the people at the Wall Street Journal.

[TheCurtisParadisShow]

OMG that was so funny, I wish there was an Apple store near me so I could go hide out, I DON'T WANT TO DIE!!!!!!

[deedas]

So I just got a BSOD on this win7 install I have on my dell mini. Would you say that's ironic?

PS. I'm only on win7 till 10.6 comes out.

[mrhogg]

Ironic? I'm not sure.

Why would you install windows 7 while waiting for Snow Leopard? Why not go to Leopard? Snow Leopard's just an incremental update.

(It occurs to me I may be responding seriously to a joking comment. Apologies if that's the case)

[deedas]

Well, hackintoshing a netbook is not easy. It's a long and painful process and I feel like it makes no sense to go through with it more than once (you can't just upgrade to 10.6.) I just got the netbook two weeks ago and I decided to wait a couple months for 10.6. In the meantime, I couldn't put up with XP more than a couple days. Which is why I put the much speedier win7.

[chazgcg]

Yeah, are you joking? If you get Leopard the upgrade to Snow Leopard is only $29.
