Microsoft® Announces Windows VistaTM for the TI-82Andy
Windows Vista(TM) on a TI-82

The result of a bizzare court battle over the licensing of Microsoft® Windows VistaTM has forced Microsoft® to announce a version for the TI-82. Initial reports indicate that it comes on a custom ROM chip which snaps over the original ROM (similar to the Texas Instruments 80486SXLC2), and provides a switch which sticks out the back to allow you to choose between Windows® and TI-OS. This also gives you an additional 128 MiB of RAM and 2 GiB of EEPROM for running programs and storing data, respectively. Response times are surprising fast, considering it's Windows®.

Microsoft, Windows, and Windows Vista are trademarks or registered trademarks of Microsoft Corporation in the United States and other countries.

Update: Yes, in case you didn't figure it out, it was a joke.

MORE BREAKING NEWS!Jayhawk
It has just been reported that Russian "hackers" are immediately planning to port Code Red, Nimda, SoBig, Blaster, Netsky, and other useful little "programs" to the TI-82! Congratulations, TI-82 users, today is indeed a banner day for new software for your calculator!

Re: MORE BREAKING NEWS!VutonTheta
indeed, and they continue to be illogical and do not port to the better calcs. It just so happens they don't have brains... :)

It would have been cooler with a real TI-82 picture and the screen being pasted onto that.
