Yeeaaaa...he just copied a video...directly.
I saw this exact same thing a while ago, except without the gay voice and finishing "peace-out".

I'm 35 seconds in and nothing's happening, I totally expect something to pop up and give me nightmares.

EDIT: Oh, my sound was off... ha... heh :oops:

Some of you people have been missing out. That Vista skin for XP has been out for 2 years now (WAY Before Vista was even out)

It's probably just me, but I dug up that song the first thing I did when I had installed xp for the first time. (By searching the HD for *.wma (; )
I also think it's annoying how he says forward slashes when he means backslashes.

Ok, here's a hidden video in XP(I saw this on youtube, it was found by werewolf717)

1.Start->Run

2.Type in telnet

3.type "o"(without quotation marks)

4.when it says <to>, type towel.blinkenlights.nl

Say hello to Star Wars :-)
Why is it that every time I post in a thread, it dies?
:lol:

That hidden theme music is played during registration in the spansih version of xp.
Edit: Zn13, that is awesome, a roguelike version of starwars

That's not "hidden in XP". Any computer with a telnet client with access to that server can view that animation. I remember reading that in an old issue of MacAddict magazine a few years ago.

Sorry, everyone says it's an XP eater egg and I find that annoying. :)
