Part 15: Vista's Tragic Past

**"Vista's Tragic Past"** is the fifth episode from season two of Windows Vista Dies.

## Plot

Five days after the fight, everyone thanks Vista for saving them. Vista tells XP that he's gonna tell everyone about his past, XP is unsure at first but accepts it. 8 asks XP why is he worried, XP says nothing, and the story begins.

In early 2007, Vista enters the world outside Microsoft's studios at the west. Looking at the studios he wonders if that's where he's created, which is true. Vista says that it's only 5 minutes and he likes being on earth.

XP shows NT 5.0 and 2000 his new laptop and it's running himself, NT 5.0 tells XP that a new OS arrived, Vista and he shows up. XP asks if that's actually him, Vista says yes and he likes XP's laptop that he wants to try it, XP gives it to him but XP is aware about it. NT 5.0 likes Vista's sounds and 2000 like the GUI and claims that the theme makes XP outdated, XP shouts that his GUI look better than 2000 anyway.

Vista watches a video on how to install himself and after a few minutes it works, he did it for a surprise but XP states even though the GUI looks good, the laptop runs slow and it's hot, so hot that the blue screen of death shows and XP says that the next thing is fire will catch up and explode and he jinxed it. The laptop does so.

Vista says sorry but XP shouts that costs $600 and that Vista "stole" it, NT 5.0 says that it's just a laptop, XP repeats but with "just". Vista didn't mean it but XP doesn't accept that as an excuse that he throws Vista away.

In May 2008, Vista misses his life when it was good and everyone hates him, OS X Leopard calls him "s\*\*\*sta", Vista says that nobody tried his SP1 update. XP on a roof throws a bin at him and calls him the same thing that OS X Leopard said. Vista crawls out and throws it back to XP.

Vista arrives at a local café and he feels hungry, inside 2000 and OS X Leopard with their laptops and the latter complaints already that the screen is still loading, 2000 tells him to have patience, OS X Leopard says that he doesn't need patience, Vista comes in and OS X Leopard falsely says that he and 2000 were talking fudge about him, Vista wonders if that's true, OS X Leopard says that is "true", he tells Vista to go end support and called him an a\*\*hole. Vista says in his mind that he's right and then he leaves.

OS X Leopard throws beer at Vista and says that he sucks, 2000 tells OS X Leopard that he's the one that sucks and then leaves.

In a pub Vista thinks that it's better being alone however he's not alone as unknowingly Vienna is there albeit not knowing Vista and feeling bad about him. She looks at a frame and notices that the picture looks the same but with Vista's colour scheme. Block gives Vista his burger and says his name, Block wonders if he actually knows his name, Vista actually guessed. Vista couldn't believe that he was nice to him. Vienna's burger arrives and Block thinks he's famous. Both Vienna and Vista eat the burgers.

At the café, OS X says hey to Vienna, which the latter says that he's ugly. Vista walks and ignores him while OS X calls him "s\*\*\*sta". Vienna says that he treated Vista badly. Vista thought the day would get better but he's wrong. Vista walks to the field where he destroyed XP's laptop. At home, Vista says that XP lives in a nice house while he lives in this dump and he hopes that he'll end support and never wake up.

A year but a few days ahead, Vista walks and says it's alone time all the time, 2000 rushes to Vista and tells him that he's sorry about the misunderstanding at the pub and also tells him that the SP2 update is an improvement. They both go to a laptop and turns it on, the laptop runs quicker. Vista is shocked and wants to show it to everyone.

At the city, OS X Leopard comes and says that 2000, now his former friend wanders around with Vista, 2000 says that Vista is a better friend than him, Vista shows the laptop loading, OS X Leopard thinks that it's gonna crash but it didn't. OS X Leopard thinks he's dreaming and tells Vista to punch him which Vista proceeds and tells him that will show him to call him by his real name. 2000 throws the bin at him.

In October 2009, The two stop and talk for a moment, 2000 tells Vista that his reputation has improved and Vista's glad about it but he doesn't like the fact that it's been 3 years and XP hasn't forgive him yet. 2000 thinks that's stupid and additionally says that Windows 7 is getting released. Vista thinks he's gonna replace him because he thinks he's best known for his crummy launch. 2000 says that XP's reputation is the same like Vista. Windows 7 shows and tells the two that a purple OS (Vienna) has died, Vista says that's sad, 7 halts and wonders why he and Vista look similar and have the same sound scheme Vista says it as well and both respond with "I don't know". 7 suggests that since he and Vista are similar in a way he wants to be best friends, Vista says yes.

Vista remembers the instance where he and 2000 threw a bin at OS X Leopard, 7 asks why they did it Vista says the things he did prior, 2000 then heads off and Vista tells 7 to go to the city. Vista checks if OS X Leopard is there, he is and wants to get Vista. 7 has a plan. Vista pops behind OS X Leopard then 7 throws the bin. They both drop him down the roof and a BTS Bus Tour garbage truck drives the bin away.

7 and Vista head down and XP meets Vista and finally says sorry to Vista and says he loves the laptop, XP got a new one anyway and it's running Vista. XP says that Vista made everyone realise that the hardware at the time was underpowered and if it wasn't for that, PCs would be running badly like his old laptop. 7 and XP says hello to each other and 2000 says that XP and Vista have made amends. 7 and Vista tells 2000 and XP what happened to OS X Leopard.

(The part on April 2017 is the same as part one and two.)

Vista concludes it and the three says parts of the story, 8 thinks that Vista is a master at storytelling.

## Trivia

* This episode marks the debut of the characters: Windows NT 5.0, OS X Leopard and Block.
* This is the most popular video from the whole series.
* It is also the longest part of the series lasting 20 minutes and 38 seconds.
* The original version is a redone version of part one but with 7 included at the beginning.
* Also in the original version, instead of Vista telling his past he talks about the last time he was with 7.
* XP uses the $ (American dollar) sign even though in other videos like Vista's 15th birthday surprise shows a British Rail Class 321 and 322 indicating that Rhys (Vista) is British. It is likely that Bliss/Heaven is a British universe, while Vista died in America.
