 x86 32-bit instruction set and designed in one sentence? Hah.

probably helps too.

I heard a rumor that on the side of the Windows Vista box there is a notice.

For a safer Windows Vista eXPeriance please turn your speaker knob
30' counter-clockwise before booting you PC. For those without
external speakers, please place you speakers face down.
