Microsoft Finally Open Sources Windows 7 Tool
Jan writes "Microsoft has
open sourced the Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool by releasing it under the GPLv2 license. The code is now available on CodePlex, Microsoft's Open Source software project hosting repository, over at wudt.codeplex.com. The actual installer for the tool is now again available for download at the Microsoft Store (2.59MB). (Microsoft previously took responsiblity for the violation.)"
Other reasons to stop calling it the "Windows 7 Tool" include the similarity between:
"Microsoft Finally Open Sources Windows 7 Tool" and
"Microsoft Finally Open Sources Windows 7 Too!"
I spent the first 30 seconds in shocked disbelief as I tried to remember anything else they've open sourced.
Now that I think about it, I'm pretty sure everything I just said is completely wrong.
You stole my line!
There is no "-1 offended" or "-1 you don't agree with me" mod options for a reason.

Some retard got a zune tat a while back, so a windows tat is possible. Of course, the zune logo is much cooler. As for linux tats, I've been a penguin for years and have the tux tat to prove it. I've met a number of other guys with tux tats. You know how tapping your foot is a gay bathroom hookup thing? The tux tat is like that, too. Except we compare distro preferences before the suck-n-fuck. I'm ubuntu, but I get along with debian. Most twinks are ubuntu or gentoo. RedHat and Centos do not get along.
Frankly, I find htat hard to believe.
Letter overflow!
Microsoft did the right thing, they shouldn't be bashed for it. Consider the following:
You're standing in line thinking that the guy next to you, Steve, is a pretty normal guy; perhaps you don't like him a lot, but he seems to keep to himself. Suddenly Steve turns to you and junk-kicks you right up in your man business. When you come to several minutes later, Steve apologizes profusely. Apparently there was a mix-up which unfortunately resulted in your swollen nuts. Wanting to make things right, Steve allows you to junk-kick him in his man business.
I think it is safe to say Microsoft is doing the right thing allowing you to junk-kick their man business.
He said it looked professional. Not that it looked like something written in Visual Basic by an amateur.
Maybe it was an auto-converter's version of ON ERROR RESUME NEXT.
Every time I start to have faith in humanity, I ruin it by driving to work between 7 and 8 am.
We've got a Windows 7 tool at work. He's unbelievably annoying.
