Windows 7 Whopper Claims its First Victim (VID)

engadget.com — Few brave souls will even attempt to consume the Windows 7 Whopper, and fewer still will achieve that first dyspepsic bite -- as you can plainly see in this video. Indeed, we were sure that this was some sort of promotional stunt for Microsoft in Japan, but now reports are filtering in that these have been available in Texas for years now.

  • notsofastener, on 10/24/2009, -1/+118Oh, you want cheese? This is just the Windows 7 Whopper Starter Edition. Upgrade to the Windows 7 Whopper Home Premium or Professional for cheese. Bacon too? Now you're looking at the Windows 7 Whopper Ultimate. 64-bit versions allow you to take advantage of more than 4 condiments, if your burger platform supports it. And don't worry, your Vista compatible fries and Coke will still work.

    Windows 7 FTW!
  • AlexPC, on 10/23/2009, -2/+31Where's the cheese?
  • happyseamonster, on 10/23/2009, -7/+3012 all meat patties special sauce lettuce cheese pickles onions on a sesame seed bun.
  • limelight022, on 10/24/2009, -0/+18The meat consumed them.
  • CreativeInc, on 10/24/2009, -0/+17Pure genius.
  • AmyVernon, on 10/24/2009, -0/+16Where's the bacon?
  • scarlettletter, on 10/23/2009, -0/+15That clip could have been a lot shorter if he just admitted that he can take all that meat!
  • JeniBurns, on 10/24/2009, -1/+14I'm so sad that Digg will only allow me to Digg this comment once.
  • worldgate989, on 10/24/2009, -2/+14And in other news, Apple releases the 10.6 layer nacho's. Fanboys hail it as innovative...
  • limelight022, on 10/24/2009, -2/+14This is one of those promotional stunts that people will look back on and say, "WTF Windows 7 Whopper??!!! LMAO!!!"
  • Lunchbox37, on 10/24/2009, -0/+9...that's what she said?
  • heavyj1970, on 10/24/2009, -1/+10I was waiting for someone to cram that thing in his mouth for him.
  • rahga, on 10/24/2009, -0/+9It's not just in Texas, and stacker has maximum of 4 patties. I don't know if you can get more outside of the official menu.

    I haven't seen a double big mac in Texas, but they've been in Canada and Japan: http://www.flickr.com/photos/nicolekiss/2472747738 ...

    In'n'Out burger of California doesn't limit you, here's a 100x100 (100 meat, 100 cheese) http://supersizedmeals.com/food/article.php/200601 ...
  • Super6, on 10/24/2009, -0/+8I wish Microsoft had done this for the Windows 95 launch
  • Almightymole, on 10/24/2009, -3/+11If you get a heart attack, it could be a sign that the Windows 7 Whopper was not genuine. Please ensure you get your Windows 7 Whoppers from a certified retailer so this does not happen. This only inconveniences you, remember that.
  • ZephyrNinety, on 10/24/2009, -0/+8You just lost your American citizenship. Pack your bags.
  • Jonatan10, on 10/24/2009, -0/+6Yeah here in texas its called the bk stacker and does include cheese
  • crossmr, on 10/24/2009, -1/+7They were going to do that, but the farmer who was raising the cows just ***** off half-way through and stopped answering his e-mail. Someone found the farm, and some hoof prints, but the guy forgot to label the vials in the freezer. they don't know which sperm is from the stud bull or the farmers..
  • leetninja, on 10/24/2009, -3/+8Do you think that in the future they will actually say that and pronounce "WTF" and "LMAO" phonetically?

    I wonder who would actually say "Double you tee eff Windows 7 Whopper??!!! El em eh oh!!!"

    That would just be silly ...
  • KholdStare00, on 10/24/2009, -0/+5HA! My friend and I decided to pull a stupid stunt after a calculus exam last year, and ordered an OCTOWHOPPER! Here it is in all it's digusting glory:

    http://s695.photobucket.com/albums/vv319/Kh0ldStar ...

    Take that Windows 7, you're a year late, and missing a patty! Pffft 7 patties...

    Seriously though, it seemed like a good idea at the time, but seeing it in person, activates the gag reflex- the meat was soggy and stank like a rotting corpse, haha! ***** Burger King...
  • blueelement15, on 10/24/2009, -1/+5http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kRZ4qjrqB0U
  • Torbar203, on 10/24/2009, -0/+4The Stacker is different(at least in Connecticut).
    You can order a tripple whopper and get extra patties though, not sure how much they cost.
  • crossmr, on 10/24/2009, -0/+4its still yesterday. Digg has invented a time machine.
  • rif42, on 10/24/2009, -2/+6Why does the Windows 7 Whopper have 7 patties inside? It should rather have 6.1 patties.
  • jekkin, on 10/24/2009, -0/+3too*
  • motters, on 10/24/2009, -0/+3Is this implying that Windows 7 is oversized and hard to get your teeth into?
  • Lunchbox37, on 10/24/2009, -0/+3Another reason Japan is ***** awesome: fast clapping.
  • fatboynpbr, on 10/24/2009, -0/+3Listen to any young kid nowadays. They say stuff like that constantly
  • LordNerd, on 10/24/2009, -0/+3They will actually be pronounced "Wuh-Tif" and "Luh-Mao".
  • ZephyrNinety, on 10/24/2009, -0/+3LINUX LASAGNA!
  • LimeParrot, on 10/24/2009, -0/+3Look back on? I'm ***** confused right now.
  • linksus, on 10/24/2009, -0/+3Digg should give members UBERdigs that they only get after posting or commenting X amount of times or one every 90 days of activity.

    Then people can spend UBERdigs on comments like his.

  • bigteebo, on 10/24/2009, -0/+2They had double big macs when I worked at McD's in '93 in the twin cities.
  • Xnient, on 10/24/2009, -0/+2It is a good thing that they do not do this for linux - it would be a 1,034 patty burger
  • SpartanErik, on 10/24/2009, -0/+2BK did have a promotion where you could order as many patties as you want. I ordered a 20 stacker last year around winter time (it was a bet). Not sure what was more gross, eating 13 patties or watching the 4-5 workers assembling it with their bare hands..
  • ninersfan6, on 10/24/2009, -1/+3The whopper song is "Hold the pickles, hold the lettuce. Special orders don't upset us. All we're asking is let us serve it your way."
  • reiggin, on 10/24/2009, -1/+3If you choke on it, does it cause a BSOD?
  • mylesneal, on 10/24/2009, -1/+3pointless.
  • theblueprint, on 10/24/2009, -1/+3Since meat is proprietary, it would be a tofu burger. But it's an open-source alternative, free, and "just as good".
  • linksus, on 10/24/2009, -0/+2MS have done well marketing win7.
    Well-done.
    And its not a shabby OS either.
    Congrats again.

    Can I take some Ice Skates to hell now?
  • linksus, on 10/24/2009, -0/+2LOL i would like to be the man that can say. Yes ive finished a win7 whopper.
    However i would like to live.
  • snake1025, on 10/24/2009, -0/+1on the moon
  • Alfarin, on 10/24/2009, -0/+1Someone in Japan on a forum I moderate went to attempt it with 3 more friends... Last I heard, it was a bad experience attempting to finish it all... LOL!
  • xMrAx, on 10/25/2009, -0/+1So where are these in Texas? I have never seen one.
  • Zippo, on 10/24/2009, -1/+2How does a giant, fatty, sickening burger promote anything good about Windows?
  • linksus, on 10/24/2009, -0/+1Oh that looks like fun.
  • linksus, on 10/24/2009, -0/+1Thats a good thing.
  • griz, on 10/30/2009, -0/+1Eliminating Windows users one burger at a time.
  • 8bitprodigy, on 10/24/2009, -0/+1Dude, James Farley, a.k.a. Wildarms7000 Ate an Octowhopper, this is almost nothing
