This week's photo looked at Microsoft's upcoming products:

Gates took the wraps off its next-generation operating system known as Windows Vista on Wednesday, displaying features aimed at positioning the software giant as the entertainment hub for a future of digitally connected homes.

Balmer! Get in here! It's locked up again!
WHAT I CAME UP WITH:
"And if I push this button, it automatcially calls Mario Monti and asks him if his refrigerator's running."
"For any of you still thinking of joining Google, allow me to remind you that this device controls your exploding neck collars."
"Will you all please stop yelling, 'Hasta la vista, Baby!'"
It really says something that so many people came up with captions involving the gadget breaking down or freezing up. Windows may have the top market share, but it is certainly not loved. At any rate, that's it for this week's contest. Thanks to everyone who took part, and I'll have the next one up on Tuesday.

Any mention of Battle Royale already puts your caption into the stratosphere compared to the others.

Nice one there :-)
But just when will Windows Vista be released really? I can't wait to grab it. I don't know what caused the delay. They just make so excited more than ever.

Microsoft still plans to release to manufacturing all of Vista's six core editions at the same time in November, Allchin said. But PCs with the consumer versions preinstalled will not be for sale until January.
