Steamed Hams But Windows XP and Windows Vista

**Steamed Hams But Windows XP and Windows Vista** is an animation made by Qwertyxp2000, first uploaded to YouTube on June 26th 2018. The animation involves Seymour Skinner (Windows XP) and his unforgettable luncheon with Superintendent Chalmers (Windows Vista).

## Synopsis

Superintendent Chalmers rings the doorbell to Seymour's house. Seymour Skinner (Windows XP) opens the door, and is welcomed by Superintendent Chalmers (Windows Vista). He welcomes him inside. Chalmers went to sit on the table, while Skinner walked towards the kitchen door. Skinner opens the door to the kitchen, only to find that there was smoke all around the kitchen. He gasps. Opening his oven, he laments over his burnt Sunday roast, a roasted Linux Oracle Tux now incinerated by flames. Windows XP figures he could just go out of the window to disguise McDonalds food as the upcoming luncheon. He laughs evilly in his remark. Superintendent caught him trying to escape the window, but doesn't yet know Skinner's intentions. Superintendent Chalmers crosses his arms (technically his "hands", due to most logos having levitating limbs).

The theme music starts as the Windows NT 5.0 startup sound, accompanied by the main non-spoken lyrics for the Steamed Hams theme song.

Chalmers questions Skinner about the roast, but Skinner claims that there is steam from the "steamed clams." After Chalmers leaves the kitchen, Skinner jumps from the window and ran quickly to obtain some McDonalds food. He then comes back with 2 plates with a Big Mac on each.

Chalmers then questions again (this time: about the "steamed clams"). Skinner stated that he obtained some hamburgers (in which he calls "**steamed hams**"). Chalmers then keeps asking Skinner about the derivation of the phrase (being a Utica native). Skinner claimed that the phrase came from Albany. Chalmers then stated that the burgers were similar to the Krusty Burgers Karddy Patty (reference taken from Bill's Burgers [YouTube channel Windows Vista]). Skinner then says that the burgers are patented Skinner Burgers.

Further details coming soon.

## History

When Qwertyxp2000 was making the animation, he originally intended for Windows Vista to have a nasal voice like his portrayal of Squidward from "SpongeBob MacPants #5 - Squidward is my best friend in the world" while Windows XP would have a low-pitched semi-British accent voice, but instead changed to Windows sounds after Qwertyxp2000 didn't feel like voicing out on his iMac microphone while the rest of the family were studying. So he decided to ensure his animations were less interrupted by background noise by switching to Windows sounds as talking. He began conjuring these thoughts earlier in late-April 2018, but began stronger on May 2018, and finally began some animating on June 2018. Ron's friends were really hyped for the 500 Subscribers Special animation, after Ron announced to them about his eventual release of the 500 Subscribers Special animation. He began a little slowly at the video at first, chipping away at it since June 7th 2018, but after showing a teaser video to his friends on around mid-late June when he had around ~450 subs, his friends quickly brought the subscribers level to just over 500. And on June 26th 2018, Qwertyxp2000 quickly went to fully finish off the half-completed video and upload the video on June 26th 2018, while his mother and his little brother were both driving to a parent-teacher interview meeting.

Several days before official release, he was halfway through the framework processing of the animations. On the day before official release, he quickly used all his spare time on that afternoon to compile all the sounds together. He then uploaded on June 26th 2019. Initially, the video only gained a few hundred views, but later on November 2018, his video surpassed 50k views, around the exact same amount as his previously highest watched video "Wublin Island - Bowgarts on Stage" at the time. He had made many updates to his milestone counts on that video over the years due to its success. As of 8th November 2019, it has over 500k views and over 4.4k likes.
