ChannelWeb has a cheeky parody (reality?) of the “25 random things about me” meme that’s hit Facebook by storm.

Only this time, “me” is Microsoft Windows 7.

Some highlights:

1. Vista and I are not twins.

6. You can upgrade to me from XP, as long we have an understanding of “upgrade” to mean “reformat your machine and do a fresh install.”

7. I don’t play well with McAfee, but Kaspersky, AVG and Symantec are cool.

13. Windows 7 Ultimate costs $350? Unsubstantiated rumor!

14. Regarding my different SKUs, you try making a pizza for a billion people!

19. 1 GB will be enough to run Windows 7 … No, really.

24. I have 8,485 fans on Facebook. Linux has 91,503.

Clever. (Head to ChannelWeb for all 25 random things.)
