The Lyrics

I wanna upgrade to Vista
Take my PC up to Vista
That's the only real OS for my ol' PC
Though Microsoft swears they're sure
That it's ten times more secure
Well, ten times more secure than XP
(Hell, that isn't saying much)
But they tell me that it's slicker
And (really?) even quicker
And that ain't something on which I'm gonna bet
But so far it's undisputed
That speed increase which they've mooted
'Cause my PC hasn't booted, yet

Oh, Bill Gates, how I love ya, how I love ya,
My Bill-ionaire Gates

Well I'm afraid I need some more persuadin'
'Cause my PC needs some more upgradin'
The hard disk's full, and the graphic's fadin'
And what the hell! It's died
Yes, a resource hog now Vista's taking bigger bites
And my PC RAM is now requiring gigabytes

I wanna upgrade to Vista
I wanna be a Vista Mister
And play on games - at least, as soon as they work
Don't wanna call up tech support again
Their muzak's drivin' me insane
But this time it ain't me who's the jerk

Though Vista may look sexy
And a little OSX-y
Don't think I will be running with it today
I want an OS that is stable
I don't care 'bout "fashionable"
Though it's antediluvian
I run Win2k
