My father told me that his computer was running slower than normal. I went to check it out and XP was in fact running unusually slow.
So, I brought my installation disks over and installed Vista (bad idea) on his computer.
After 5 hours waiting for the installation to complete, the first happy message I get from Vista was:

fAIL

No joke guys, I took the picture with my phone, no PhotoShop or anythig. I thought it was pretty funny. I wonder what the message really means though, because Vista is now running ok... just a bit on the laggy side though. I'm going to buy him some RAM off eBay.

I can't get him to switch. Maybe I'll surprise him with a Hackintosh one day. :D

I remain skeptical though. Bad Caps and all, not the norm for error messages.

iMac Knight, I swear to God! My PhotoShopping skills absolutely suck!

I don't think it's a virus... the OS installation is fresh.
Just thought I'd give everyone a chuckle of a Vista flaw.
