If you live in Japan, you can buy a Windows 7 Whopper from Burger King for a limited time, with a full seven meat patties and a price of 777 yen (about $8.50).

Since those seven patties add up to nearly 2 pounds of meet, I'd suggest following the same precautions as with Windows 7 and carefully evaluate system resources before installing.
