The first item is an quote that I saw in someone's sig on one of the boards I belong to (ironically, the thread involved someone wishing to switch from Vista back to XP, but this sig wasn't the original poster's, but from one of the people replying to it):
"Vista: It's like a lobotomy, for your computer."
The second item is a song parody that came from another board I belong to and I thought I'd share this with you. It's to the tune of The Eagles song, "Hotel California". The lines with the * contain numbers that refer to driver versions in case anyone was wondering.
Welcome to the hotel nVidia
Such a lovely place
Such a lovely face
Plenty of room at the forums of nVidia
Any time of year, you can find it here
Their mind is driverly-twisted, they got the Geforce 9800`s
They got a lot of pretty, pretty cards, that they calls friends
How they play on the lcd, sweet summer sweat.
Some play to remember, some play to forget
So I called up the Admin,
’please bring me my 179`s *
He said, ’we haven’t had that spirit here since one sixty nine’s *
And still those voices are calling from far away,
Wake you up in the middle of the night
Just to hear them say...
Welcome to the hotel nVidia
Such a lovely place
Such a lovely face
They livin’ it up at the hotel nVidia
What a nice surprise, bring your alibis
drivers on the ceiling,
The betas are on ice
And they said ’we are all just prisoners here, of our own device’
And in the master’s chambers,
They gathered for the release
The stab it with their MS mice,
But they just can’t kill the beast
Last thing I remember, I was
Running for the door
I had to find the passage back
To the place I was before
’relax,’ said the admin,
We are programmed to receive.
You can checkout any time you like,
But you can never leave!

I did get the one about Vista though.
I'm sorry as I was hoping the nVidia one would have made more sense. 
: It's somewhat similar in some ways to one interpretation of the song, "Hotel California", minus the destructive addictive aspect of it if that helps explain things a bit. If not, and anyone is interested, I'll try and write up a better explanation of what some of the inside jokes and references are regarding.
