What if Microsoft made "Windows 7 beer", or "Vista beer"?

For those of us of legal drinking age only! What would it look like, taste like, how would it be marketed? etc...???
:roflmao:

I have some thoughts of my own, but will wait until several others have responded, before I go off.

This is just silly fun, as I am craving an amber necter... but I'm out, and have to go to the store!

Im sure the open source guys will have a great time with this too! Any artists want to try their hand at product design, that outta be hilarious!l

How about this:

Microsoft revolutionized the beer industry when in 1995, it released Beer 95... borrowing a few choice ingradients and brewing methods from its' competitor Apple beer.

Just think about how many different choices of the same brew just packaged differently, with your choices of ingredients, determining the cost of a bottle. And whether or not you could refill it yourself for free or needed to pay a fee for doing so.
