"IWAY Cookies"

**Windows Vista** is the second episode of the first series of Microsoft Sam's Misadventure Flavoured Taco. It released on the 14th of October, 2022.

## Synopsis

After an unexpected maintenance session, Microsoft Sam must try to escape from Windows Vista after his computer upgrades to it. Meanwhile, Microsoft Mary receives a gift from Microsoft Mike.

## Plot

### Cold open

Microsoft Sam is seen reading a crime novel about a crook who's stolen many other characters' property in the story he's read so far, which reminded him of "another crook" he had to face.

He is then seen putting a film reel in a movie projector and says that the video is about "demons and angels", and that he to make this "daring deal with this devil" so that he could get "the one true thing he loved" back since it took it away from him. The main episode then starts.

### Main episode

Microsoft Mary is seen sitting down waiting for Microsoft Mike to come back with her gift: her very own laptop. However, as soon as Mary starts to use it, it immediately explodes. Mike tells her not to worry as he'll get her another one. Microsoft Sam, who was distracted from refueling his ROFLcopter, then comes down and wonders what is going on, thinking that they're "auditioning for a film directed by Michael Bay", but Mary explains what happened with her laptop to Sam. Sam then reminds himself to check up on his own computer.

As Sam approaches his computer, he states that "all the best users around the world choose Windows XP" since it is "the best operating system in the world". He turns on his computer, however, the moment it starts up, it immediately requires a maintenance session in order to continue. Sam is confused that this has to happen, but allows it to happen as long as it only helps to make Windows XP to "continue to get even better and more faster and reliable than ever before". The maintenance session starts, but due to how long it takes, Sam is unsure what to say in order to pass the time, so he then cuts to the sub-plot of the episode.

Meanwhile, Mike rushes back to Mary, gifting her a new laptop. She uses it and it immediately explodes again. Radar Overseer Scotty comes in and tells Mary to stop blowing up her laptops, since it's distracting him from eating baloney sandwiches. Mary tells him not to have any baloney sandwiches, nor should he have them in the first place, as well as Mike adds that Scotty eating them is "probably the reason why Mary's computers keep exploding".

Back with Sam, the maintenance session is complete. However, with a slight catch, he is now on Windows Vista. Sam is shocked to see that he is on Windows Vista, since it's "the most evilest operating system". It informs Sam that it vanished his ROFLcopter (including all the fuel he put in it earlier), removed all of his IWAY Cookies and as well as his favourite Windows XP features. Sam is upset and desperately wants Windows XP back. However, Windows Vista won't give it back to him until he performs a sacrifice. Sam tries various object to sacrifice, until Windows Vista tells him that he should sacrifice this: his tacos. Sam is devastated about his and won't sacrifice his tacos, even if it is for getting back on Windows XP, thus, trapping him in Windows Vista forever.

Meanwhile, Mary and Mike come back with a third laptop, but then they are distracted by the fact that Sam is stuck on Windows Vista, and in order to get back on Windows XP, he has to sacrifice his tacos. Mary looks at her laptop and then goes to Sam with it. She then turns on the laptop and prepares to sacrifice her laptop (that runs Windows XP) in order to save Sam. The laptop then indeed, explodes, and Windows Vista then finds this good enough in order to get him back on Windows XP after all, but warns him that it'll be back to "haunt him some more". Sam thanks Mary for saving him from being on Windows Vista.

Eventually, Sam's computer is now finally back on Windows XP. Before he "lights some fireworks" to celebrate, he decides to do something for Mary in return for saving him: giving her his old laptop. Due to the last three laptops she was given has exploded, Mike becomes increasingly anxious and doesn't want Sam to give her it, nor does he want Mary to use it for that matter. However, Mary states that this is "the best gift he's ever given her" and uses it anyway. At first, it looks like it actually works and Mary is relieved... only for it to explode immediately after, devastating her.
