Samit Sarkar - The new face of Microsoft Windows 7
Zen Albatross	32 comments

Samitsu was just the beginning - Destructoid's very own Sports Editor, Samit Sarkar is well on his way to stardom. Several unidentified sources have reported that our favorite defender of the English language is destined to be the mascot for the Windows 7 operating system. This is of course unconfirmed by Microsoft, but take a look at the clearly legitimate, leaked imagery of Windows 7's Word Processor below. Irrefutable proof? I think so. Congratulations to our very own Samit Sarkar!

Hahaha, this is all my fault!

I got tired of seeing Samit only chirp in on the DtoidNY emailer to correct people's spelling/grammar. So I begged anyone to make a Samit/Clippy mashup, and Zen was nice enough to oblige.

Ahahhahahahahaha

If anyone knows how to make addons for Open Office...

Let it be known that I once out-grammared Samit! It was actually one week ago from today, although I suspect it won't happen again for another decade or two.
