As many of you know, under XP, Chrome displays an XP screensaver with
the title "Don't Clog the Tubes!" Under Vista, it displays nothing
with the title "The Tubes are Clogged!" I'm aware as to why the
screensaver isn't displayed (sspipes.scr isn't available under Vista)
but I'm curious about the choice of the titles. Of course they are an
allusion to Ted Stevens reference to the internet being a series of
tubes, but what does the Chrome dev team mean by them being clogged
and warning not to clog them?

Since Chrome in currently on available on XP and Vista, and the only
way to "clog the tubes" is by running it under Vista, it seems almost
as if they are urging us "don't use Vista!" What do you think?

And before somebody takes this way too seriously, please don't; it's
just a silly pseudophilosophical musing on an observation I found
amusing. :)
