Can anyone tell me why this was deleted?

Because it was flamey enticing spam more suited to /. ?

If this were Gamedev.net is would have been instantly locked.

Really? I thought it was informative (details of public available beta) and erm erm hum well maybe ... not funny.

After I posted it I did see that the comic image was already linked into the windows 7 thread there. I was just linking to the image before anyone else did and called godwin.

Woah, wait - people already hate Windows 7? Vista I could understand, it was new and intimidating. It is only natural for non-computer nerds to be scared of change, and those Linux geeks to be scared of real competition to their perfect, flawless baby that they would blindly follow off a cliff. But Windows 7 hardly offers anything but a little bit of improvement over Vista with some more useless tools and claims of performance improvement. Oh, and a new GUI - always have to have a new GUI!

@Machaira - I think it'll be fine. I mean, we've had multiple pages of why smoking weed and eating seaweed is the ultimate cure for life, and we're still alive. If we can survive that, we can survive anything!

Perhaps Windows 7 automatically flips pictures as an accessibility feature for those poor people who are born with their eyeballs in the wrong sockets?

I have heard nothing but praise for Windows 7 is "amazing" and "great" and it does all this neat stuff. Of course it is all the same stuff as Vista. I guess the "Mojave Experiment" was even more accurate than I thought. Some sort of mass perception/deception.

I've heard Windows 7 is actually nice. I have friends that have tested out the beta. Lot less security annoyances. Randall is just poking fun as seen from the alt-text.

It's making fun of Vista, not Windows 7. Read the last pane

I thought it was making fun of both.

The comic gave me this impression: ms needs to sell us new operating systems, but xp was too functional, so rather than giving us something more functional than xp, they gave us something less functional: vista. And win7 is extending this ideology, by giving us something less functional than vista, a blinking hitler face.

I thought he was just slagging vista off. the hover over text says he's head good things doesn't it?

From what I've read windows 7 just seems like a vista without most of the initial problems

Above post is sig-spam, FYI.
