"Funny Prank!"
Version: Vista Upgrade Prank 1
Pros
This is a great gag that simulates an upgrade to Microsoft Windows Vista. The Vista Upgrade Prank starts by emulating the Windows Update service screen. Clicking the install or cancel button closes the update service window and appears to initiate the Vista Upgrade Advisor. This Upgrade Advisor scan the system (actually does nothing) to ensure the computer is ready to upgrade to Vista. If you click the Cancel button, it disables itself. You are unable to close the screen or stop the progress (don't worry, its harmless). The Upgrade Advisor completes within 15 seconds or so and then informs the user their computer is able to run Windows Vista. Yippee!
Here is where the fun begins. After the Upgrade Advisor our Vista Upgrade Prank will initiate a 'fake' Upgrade to Vista. This part includes many flashy icons and flavor text about the joys of upgrading to Vista. The user can click next or wait a few seconds and the upgrade to Vista simulation begins. Again, clicking cancel will do nothing, the process runs until the progress bar is complete (this process does nothing either). After 30 seconds or so the fake upgrader shows that the upgrade was successful and allows the user to close the upgrade program.
