Something to do with it not been just a Beta, but "Betta" as in Better Than Vista.

Just a stab!

or maybe "If you're looking for a low maintenance pet you can't do "Betta" than a Siamese fighting fish."

wikipedia says "Windows 7

The Siamese fighting fish has been used as the default background in the first official beta version of Windows 7 operating system, in an apparent reference to the name "betta"."

but dunno if that qualifies as a great joke

I liked my thought better

You didn't get it was a "Beta" fish?
It's a subtle joke, I guess, but still.

I didn't find it subtle at all and was kind of hoping it was something more

That's a cool perspective, never knew or even thought about it.
Neat!
