Vista - Dumbest question ever posted

Ok, this is probably the dumbest question ever posted here. But does anyone
know how to open the plastic box that the software comes in? I have been
staring at it and fiddling with it for 1/2 hour. Is this some kind of
screening test Microsoft uses to determine who is worthy to use its software?

Hi Regldc,

Haha, I guess this make this tutorial something. LOL

Not even close... I see others have already answered your question. But,
just so you don't feel bad, believe me, not even close...

Seeing how much of a pain it is to open the box, just wait until you
actually try to use what's inside!

You're not the first one to ask this question. Just go back
to the first week or so after Vista was released and you'll
find a number of posts of a similar nature. Seems some folk
used a hammer, a hacksaw, or sharp instruments such as
knives to get the case open. In my case I was lucky. I was
fiddling around with the thing after having pulled the tab
and wondering why the case wouldn't open. As I was turning
the case around looking for the hinge line it just flopped
open in my lap. It was only after that that I noticed
instructions on opening the case, in real small print, on
one of the labels.

Ps: In case anyone is wondering why I didn't explain how to
open the case, it's because I see your question has been
answered by other posters already.
