From time to time we seem to hit another lowest low. I wonder how long we can keep going before we hit rock bottom, and what will happen when we do?

Typical! That is a question, but of course it's been closed - so the OP doesn't get an answer...
It's fairly obvious what the problem is: he's found an article which does what he needs, and can't get out to work. He just doesn't know that there are lots of articles, and that he needs to post that in the forum at the bottom rather than in QA.
We get a dozen or so of those a year.
But we can't tell him that, because the question is closed...

Can you know if someone posted a comment before the question closed?
Sometimes (I know for sure) OP got comments, but these disappear after closing the question...
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

You might say that if removed QA questions here were dead fish that they rot from the tail up: comments and solutions disappear, the head remains.

Isn't it obvious? He tagged it "Linux", so what he wants is to run Linux on a Windows 7 machine. The only correct answer, I think, would be to install a VM and install Linux on it.
Or maybe "window 7" wasn't a typo and he wants to clean his window (what he then fails to mention is if it's the 7th from the top, bottom, left, right, front or back) with one of those window cleaning machines, but he can't get the firmware to work.
I don't see how that could be any more clear...

No no! He wants to run it on "Widow 7" which means he probably is a serial killer! That's how he got Widow 1, widow 2... etc.
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

Apart from what the OP has asked for, I don't have enough idea about what the real program is. But there is something which made me laugh, how can a program run on widow

Computer controlled vehicle runs over a widow.
That's how it is done.

I just installed Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate on my workstation.
What is your most favorite feature of it?
it seems like memory profiler is powerful.

Being able to turn off SHOUTY mode and the Dark Side theme.
Other than that, it works. It's a little slow at times (compared to VS2010) because it doesn't seem to cache system source and symbols as well, but for the price, it's damn good!

CodeLens. But it's also my most hated because occasionally it gets itself into a CPU-hogging, memory-hogging mode that just makes VS2013 unusable. When it works it's a wonderful productivity tool, but when it doesn't it's a real pain. It's very much a work in progress, but has great promise.

It's hard to explain, but I like the fact that it's just less buggy than 2012, which is just less buggy than 2010. And every update for 2010, 2012 and 2013 reduces the buggy-ness of the whole thing. Any time you have to go back and use an older version, you will encounter all sorts of random little bugs which aren't present in the current version, and it's not until I have to do that that I really start to appreciate how good the current version is.
There was an episode of Top Gear where they were explaining the difference between the Aston Martin DB-9 and the DBS, and discussing why the DBS costs so much more despite being essentially the same car. The way they explained it was that despite being essentially the same, the DBS has all sorts of tiny little tweaks the DB-9 doesn't have. Any one of those tweaks on it's own seems insignificant but when you combine them all together, the DBS is significantly better.
That's how I feel about every new version of Visual Studio these days.

The "profile" feature is both annoying and useful. If you sign in you can save/change your "profile"; then if you login on another system, your profile settings will be applied for the session. it's annoying because logging in on another machine invalidates every other system, so if I start it on my laptop, the copy on my desktop will freak out- basically it won't let me use both at once, which makes perfect sense. I worked around this by instead using Visual Studio 2015 on my laptop.

The fact that I can install ReSharper on top of it.

An engineer dies and reports to the pearly gates. St. Peter checks his dossier and says, "Ah, you're an engineer — you're assigned to hell."
So the engineer reports to the gates of hell and is let in. Pretty soon, the engineer gets dissatisfied with the level of accommodations and starts designing and building improvements.
After a while, they’ve got air-conditioning and flush toilets, escalators, elevators and so on ... and the engineer is a pretty popular guy.
One day, God calls Satan on the telephone.
"So, how's it going down there in hell?" God says.
"Hey, things are going great. We've got air-conditioning and flush toilets and escalators. There's no telling what our engineer is going to come up with next!" Satan says.
"What? You've got an engineer? That's a mistake — he should have never gotten down there. Send him back immediately!" God says.
"No way! I like having an engineer on the staff — I'm keeping him!" Satan says.
"Send him back up here or I'll sue!" God says.
Satan laughs uproariously and answers:
"Yeah, right. And just where are you going to get a lawyer?"

I've been told once that God himself is an engineer.
Because only an engineer could think of bringing a hose reserved for waste disposal in the middle of an area dedicated to entertainment.
There are two kinds of people in the world: those who can extrapolate from incomplete data.
