Alexandre. Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 No, 8 millionth post didn't get Vista, it was a huge coincidence. He got the post, and got randomly selected for Vista. And he made a motivational poster like 3 days before he actually got the post to pretend he won. He has a time machine for sure... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
