Has anybody else seen this?

I once stumbled upon a web page that told me it detected a windows OS, then proceeded to uninstall windows (at least made it look like it was) then went through the motions of a Mac OS install, and a Boot into os 9. It was done with flash I think, and while not entirely convincing, it was good for a laugh. I lost the link (was a japanese site i think), and would love to find it again. Has anybody seen this before?

I have (or maybe i deleted it.. i had at least) a GIF that shows an "uninstall winows" followed by a "installing os 8" thing.. it was/is a gif.

Certainly the wrong forum for this one.

I've heard about that site. Might be in the Mac Addict April Fool's prank sections. Let me look...

Okay, the most recent April issue has it: www.yaromat.com/macos8. And it works!

That was cool Arden! He he... I can imagine a Wintel user seeing all that messages and thinking the following:
Damn! A virus is messing with my system...

only to think some secs later on:
WOW! This virus actually fixed my computer! WOW!

only to think some secs later on:
Wishful dreaming...

all while screaming out loud:
I HATE MAC USERS, I HATE MACS, I HATE APPLE!



PS. That link worked for me only by using IE under OS X... OmniWeb stops at Installing Mac OS message... All others nothing!

Well, I didn't program the site, though it's ironic that it only works with Microsoft Internet Explorer... oh well.

I'm glad you enjoyed it, though! This was my first time looking at it, too. I didn't check it out when I first got the issue.
