Ahh crap, how do I open my CD drive again?
Well at least that was "somewhat" helpful
If you were that dull to need help opening the box, do you think you would need the "Ultimate" version of Vista?
I must be really uncoordinated, because I hate getting things and then being unable to open them.I think it's a positive thing really. Just think of the last inconvenience you had with molded plastic.
Every package that needs instructions on how to open it fails the practicality test. The designers should be fired.
This does not apply to simple "Pull Here" markers.
All the buzzt!

If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
I support http://www.ukip.org/ as the first necessary step to a free Europe.
But, um, where are the pictures! I don't want to hurt my G5, there is no way I could figure out how to lift it without pictures. I am supposed to hit that button that pops out a handle before I unplug it right? You know, that handle/cup holder thingy...

I wonder if this is going to be mandatory training now for MS Certification courses... "Box-Opening 101"Originally Posted by novacain

My fav is when you call tech support and they are so nice as to try to explain to you where and what the start button does. MS tech support did that to me.
I like the bottom...
I don't see why people think Chuck Norris is so awesome. If he was really as great as they say, he would be over here slamming my head into the keybsk;lah;flksalfksdnlcslcnsldk;acklsd;glfbaskfl

I use the plastic edges to cut my head off! Owie!
You know what date is on this coin? 1958. It's been travelling twenty two years to get here.
And now it's here.
And I'm here.
And it's either heads or tails.
And you have to say...
Call it.
They could have used something like this for the X-Box packaging.

When it comes to Microsoft, this is what I find ridiculous.
It's only one of the stupidest ideas in the world to create such a complicated network of upgrade/clean-install requirements. I got Media Center and I can't upgrade to Business? psh...well...looks like they've lost my business then.
Probably because they don't "match"; you'd lose the media centre functionality going from MCE to Business.
