Few brave souls will even attempt to consume the Windows 7 Whopper, and fewer still will achieve that first dyspepsic bite -- as you can plainly see in this video. Indeed, we were sure that this was some sort of promotional stunt for Microsoft in Japan, but now reports are filtering in that these have been available in Texas for years now. Of course, in the Lone Star State it's not called the Windows 7 Whopper, it's called "lunch."

See more video at our hub!
i'd eat 3 of those. and i'm hindu
hahahaha
I wish they would release this to the states but there'd be too many fat people trying to sue...
It's no wonder that there is such a huge obesity epidemic, when some people would rather choke on a cholesterol infused Windows 7 Whopper, instead of having a nice healthy Apple :-)
You can already order these in the states, you just have to tell them to make you one.
more like hin-don't.

What are they trying to say with this promotion? That Windows 7 is the Peter North of operating systems? (more meat)
I just threw up...
Oh btw, if you still didn't see how Microsoft CEO Mr. Ballmer, projected Windows 7 logo on a MacBook Air (notebook) on NBC's Today Show Today (October 23, 2009) then feel free to see this article:

dang Mister Deleon of crunchgear is "howdy-fast"!
speaking of "Microsoft's mock's Mac for a change"
Yummy!
@sinai
niceeee never heard of that guy, but he's pretty damn funny
@Tmacfan4321 yeah, found this http://www.quadrain.com/?p=274
Wow, this video sure is fitted for a hilarity-clip on Japanese tv-series, like sasuke. The funny thing though about the way this guy eat the burgers is even though in the picture you think he finished the burger in reality he didn't finish the 7 layer of patties because he said it was "dried". He had a partner who finished the burger though and thankfully said "it's good it was not windows 95!" LOL!
I wonder if Apple will launch an Apple-pie eating contest on their next release of O.S? :D
I guess this month will be a window 7 week for everyone, sources: http://pinoytutorial.com/techtorial/windows-7-official-suite-why-should-you-get-it/
bonn appetite!
Brian Lam?
I thought that until he started speaking japanese.
I know your comment was a joke, but for those curious the guy's name is Toshifumi Fujimoto. He's a comedian in the comedy duo "Fujiwara".

Oh those crazy Japanese...wait a minute, In n Out!
In Tejas everything is bigger, especially the diameter of your waste pipes.
Really? That's odd because we aren't even on the list for top ten fattest states:
http://consumerist.com/tag/fattest-states/?i=5021721&t=the-10-fattest-states-in-the-country
... yeah, not one in Texas is fat. Wait, they just have 3 of the fattest 10 cities in the country ( http://www.mensfitness.com/lifestyle/216 )
And Dallas is #14. Wow, that's every major city in Texas (plus El Paso) in the top 14! Texans love to think of themselves as rugged cowboys but the truth is that once they graduate from high school they all go to pasture growing fat asses in their leather-lined trucks and SUVs.
Ohhhh but we have Austin...that's all we need. Walk around there for a day ;)
Gotta love Austin!
@kgilpin:
Wow, someones a little but-hurt. Did you have a bad experience in Texas? BTW when I graduated high school I joined the Air Force as did my two brothers.
Does Windows 7 also cause heart attacks?
No, just Blue Screen of Death.
@Max
Whats up with the down rank? Wow people are hyper sensitive, that was actually funny.
Bloated Junk Food = windows 7?
The more I think of it the similar it becomes.
You mean you always want more and are willing to pay more for the good shit than the crappy food like fruit?
+1 For Max
I wish i could eat that.
thats what she said
In Texas we prefer Whataburger. And yes, they do allow you to have pretty much whatever you want on that burger.
Do you want 20 strips of bacon, 6 slices of chees, jalapenos, and grilled onions? They'll put it on there.
Mmmm...Whataburger.
They are much larger than Whoppers too.
Haha, for those who don't know, that's like actually from a Whataburger commercial. Whataburger FTW!!!
-aedile-
As a child I thought it was Waterburger
Well, Dairy Queen or Whataburger. Either one. The Hungr Bustr is the only burger I've ever eaten where the bun is both saltier and greasier than the fries.
Who is this "we"? Almost everyone I know prefers Burger King....we also live in Texas!
That's the one of few places that I miss when I visited El Paso. I was amazed by the Whataburger's service. Once you order, you sit down and wait for your food. Then an employee comes by and hands you over your order, plus they bring you a tray with napkins and ketchup!!
That really threw me off. I would never get that type of service in the Northeast, especially in Massachusetts!
It's probably a New Jersey thing, but I'll happily take a burger from Five Guys any day of the week.
Steakhouse Whataburger b*tches!!!
Sluttym,
You may be in the Minority. Whataburger is fast food burger price with service. You actually understand them on the drive through.
Also, open 24hrs. You can get triple stack burger at 8am!
MidtownJoe - We just got a Five Guys here in Houston. It's damn good too!
Just got a 5 guys in San Antonio too actually. Damned good burgers, but at least twice the price of whataburger.
wtf are you talking about? Whataburger sucks! I'm from Texas, too (H-town represent!), and there are FAR more McDonalds than Whataburger..... by a factor of at least 8. Have you ever seen a Wal-Mart with anything BUT a McDonalds inside? I rest my case.
damn skippy!
@Flaystus Me too! I thought I was the only one :) Thought now that I look back on it, I'm sure it was a common mistake among young kids :)
meh you guys are missing out. Five Guys has the best burger i have ever had or will have. they're starting to spread west now.
@Xenoterranos
Where at, exactly? I'm interested in trying it out.
@Christopher , In North Carolina the Wal-Marts have Subways inside. Also Whataburger isn't that much more, and everything is better (except for the fries, don't go to Whataburger for fries).
No cheese? Where's the cheese?
http://eatingtheroad.wordpress.com
Cheese adds too many calories.
CNN's Japanese reporter was eating one this morning.
My friend who lines in Japan tried it along with his co-workers and none were able to finish. LOL
I just told him: FAIL.
They are reporting this while mr. softee posted good results? LOL
I live in Texas and I think I would shoot someone with my concealed weapon if they offered me one of those. With that much artery clogging fat, I think I'm the victim!
Dude, get your hands off my burger.
I want Windows XP Wopper, its much leaner and goes through your system much faster :) YUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
But then you get worms because it's so insecure.
Great.
I can almost hear all the idiots claiming that this is 'awesome' because they ignore a big issue called 'world hunger'.
Watching stuff like this makes me sick ...
So if your so concerned with hunger, why are you wasting your money paying for the internet when you could give that money to feed the homeless and the hungry?
Soon he will have a BSOD: Big Shit Of Death.
u sir, win
sitting in the library and i just laughed out loud. it was worth it
i commend you good fellow on your silly pun
Cheerio ol' chap and jolly good show.
@mrsyeltzin that is the only comment worthy of showing up on this article.
I think I just threw up a little in my mouth.
I could eat 5 of those in 7 mins
Planning on starting your own cankle farm?
If you can't, don't feel badly about yourself. With my special training program, anyone can eat 5 Windows 7 Whoppers in 7 minutes.
What happened to the Windows 98 Whooper?
Why turn Whopper into Big Mac? This is travesty.
I'm a PC, and Windown3d Whopper wasn't my idea!
When I first saw the picture, I thought it was Bobby Lee from MadTV.
Now wait a moment, is that a Windows Launch Party? Oh yeah and plus 1 giant f**king Burger!
Wonder if the heartburn is going to kick in after the whopper or after he realizes that it's just "The Mojave Experience" in retail form.
No to be out done McDonalds is soon to release the McSnowLeapord Burger.
Yeah, McD'll get the McSnowLeopard, only you'll have to buy a special knife to cut into it, since nothing you own currently will do that, and if you have problems, you have to call apple support, since McD's will only be a third party vendor. You'll also have to wait in line for three days to get one (if they're in stock), and as soon as you get one, Steve jobs will come out and tell you that he's releasing a newer, better cheaper version and you can't have it.
Oh yeah, and it'll actually be made of pure snow leopards.
However it will only be available in McDonald's built after 2006 and its rumored it may cause alzheimer's if you share your McSnowLeopard burger with a guest.
Nah, wrong crowd,
It will be a starbucks "Snow leopard Latte" which will be apple cinnamon with no fat whipped cream.
Almost forgot. For the three months leading up the the release of the new McSnowLeopard, all of your favorite blogs will switch their coverage exclusively to rumors of the fat contect, calories, and whether or not the new McSnowleopard will cure cancer as well.
Notice the date format "2009.10.22".
Now that's what I call logical. I use this format almost exclusively for its filing properties in a file system.
Dear God.
sooooo is apple gonna go for the MAC when they do something like this???
:)
Heart attack that i would love to have all for Windows 7 LOL
Is the size of this Whopper indicative of the size of Windows 7?
Here's the owner of cheapassgamer.com and a friend attempting to finish the Win 7 burger. One of them finishes and the other barely eats half.

What they didn't tell you is that the fries you bought beforehand won't work with the new burger, you'll need the windows 7 fries, and a compatible Coke is still not available. "That's Coke's problem, not ours"
That joke worked with vista, not windows 7, sorry chap.
Besides, didn't you know that the professional Whopper has an XP compatible patties?
This guy beat him!
with mcdonalds
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kAz2fWz_JTk&feature=related
I live in Texas and have never seen that burger before. But as another poster said above me, go to Whataburger and get yourself as many damn patties as you want.
That's weird, because the last time I looked at a map of Japan, Texas was right next to Tokyo.
Few brave souls will even attempt to consume the Windows 7 Whopper, and fewer still will achieve that first dyspepsic bite -- as you can plainly see in this video.

Did you even read the story description?
And then, Apple strikes back with the..... BIG MAC
You know what they call a Quarter Pounder with cheese in France?
Quarter Pounder avec fromage?
No silly, they have the metric system. It's called a "Royale with cheese"
ha he don't get it.
I hope for that guy that it was bug free!!!
I guess this week has been the time for "aggressive" ads to flourish. I mean iPhone, Motorolla Droid, Windows are eating each other on the ads they are portraying.
What's next? Pizza perhaps? lol

I guess it would have been less a big deal with a Sumo Wrestler eating it - huh?
