The Contest, now with Reality Control

Within ten hours after this thread was posted, Microsoft updated the contents of the page that's linked in the OP image. That's probably just a coincidence.

The links below are a screenshot of how the page appeared at the time this thread was started:

The new version manages to sound even more condescending and out of touch than the original.

"In the past 12 years you’ve probably gotten a new phone, maybe a new TV, and possibly even a new car. Maybe it’s time for a new PC too... and they’re less expensive than you might think." - Microsoft

Reminding the Proles how shitty the last 12 years have been to them = awesome sales strategy. I'm going to take a screenshot of the new version just in case that disappears down the memory hole as well.

I honestly don't plan to stop using Windows XP any time soon. So I guess you can count me in. :-)
