Microsoft Opens Windows 7 Restaurant in Taiwan

Sure, Windows 7 is good, but is it good enough to eat?

When Windows 7 launched, the Windows 7 Whopper selling in Japanese Burger King locations made headlines the world over. Similar to the way a lot of fast food chains capitalize on the launches of highly anticipated Hollywood blockbusters, Burger King was taking advantage of all the Windows 7 hype. With seven patties, it was definitely deserving of the Whopper brand but the limited edition burger was soon off the menu.

Those of you still mourning the loss of the Windows 7 Whopper can console yourselves with this new Windows 7 restaurant in Taiwan. Open just in time for the annual techgeek invasion that is Computex, Microsoft Taiwan is said to have worked with a famous seafood restaurant to come up with seven dishes featuring Windows 7. Available for just two months, Micgadget reports that you can only get a taste of one NTD$77 dish (about three U.S. dollars) each day.

    The food's good, but they have the worst servers. They're always crashing.

    I'm getting confused about this whole BSOD thing. I haven't experienced it one time in the seven months I've been using Win7.

    scottersI'm getting confused about this whole BSOD thing. I haven't experienced it one time in the seven months I've been using Win7.Same here. No slow startups either. I'm also running 23 Servers, one runs 2000, a bunch are on 2003, a couple on 2003 R2, a couple on 2008, and a few on 2008 R2. All of which are rock stable and run for months non-stop (they could go longer, but every once in a while I break down and run the damn updates). Anywho, the XP machines are the only ones that have the slow startups, but still no crashing or BSOD (since BSOD is a HARDWARE issue, it rarely happens when you buy good hardware and install it properly). No issues at all with the Win7 and OS X 10.6 machines.
