WINDOWS VISTA TEXAS HOLD ‘EM
OK I just had to post this. I have Windows Vista Ultimate running on a laptop right now and I was playing around with the various games it offers. One of them is Texas Hold ‘Em, a game near and dear to my heart. Actually the game is fairly passable … pretty enjoyable actually. It does a fine job. But this was just hilarious: I decided to go all-in on a hand where I had suited ace-king and top-pair on the flop, and it pops open a Windows warning dialog that says “Are you sure you want to go All-in?” Then has a check-box for “Disable All-in confirmation.” I laughed out loud for about 5 minutes. That definitely made my day. Cheers.
Going “All-in” is a serious decision that could adversely affect your winnings in an unalterable way. It involves a large degree of risk. Will you allow this move to be executed in games that you play?”

Yikes! I fear that Anthony Costa does not have an active social life in West Lafayette, Indiana (as many do not actually). Laughing five minutes over a computer poker prompt (or non-prompt, as the case may be), indeed!
