Nothing says operating system quite like burgers.

The launch of Microsoft's Windows 7 went well enough yesterday in most places around the world, being celebrated with launch events and other gatherings of people who came together to praise the new operating system.

While it's important to note that it's finally something worthwhile upgrading to after eight years of being stuck with the now-ageing XP, the very last company expected to be celebrating Windows 7 was Burger King.

They've pimp-slapped all the disbelievers, frying up a special Windows 7 Whopper that comes endowed with seven patties of burger meat, along with the usual condiments.

It's a very strange way to get attention for the new operating system, but at a price of 777 yen (AU$9.15) it seems a delicious way to get into the Windows 7 spirit.

Check it out below, via tomshardware.

 I often wolf done a kilo or two of lean meat of many different species in a sitting but the fat content there would do me in, despite it's tastyness.
As to Win 7 I'm sure they wouldn't be happy with the association sine this version seems to actually work correctlyish.

 I'v already tried this at macdonalds except I ordered a 2 pounder. 8 patties. Except I squished it down to about the size of a big mac, & ate it with alot of drink.
I'm not fat either.
