The Top 14 ways things
would be different if Microsoft built BMW motorcycles. (drumroll,please...)
1. A particular model year of BMW motorcycle wouldn't be available until
AFTER that year,instead of before.
2. Every time they
repainted the lines on the road, you'd have to buy a new BMW motorcycle.
3. Occasionally your BMW
motorcycle would just die for no reason, you'd have to restart it. For
some strange reason, you would just accept this.
4. You could only have one
person at a time on your BMW motorcycle, unless you bought a BMW
motorcycle '95 or a BMW motorcycle NT, but then you'd have to buy more
foot pegs.
5. You would be constantly
pressured to upgrade your BMW motorcycle. Wait a sec, it's that way NOW!
6. Sun Motorsystems would
make a BMW motorcycle that was solar powered, twice as reliable, 5 times
as fast, but only ran on 5% of the roads.
7. The oil, alternator,
gas, engine warning lights would be replaced with a single "General
BMW motorcycle Fault" warning light.
8. People would get excited
about the "new" features in Microsoft BMW motorcycles,
forgetting completely that they had been available in other brands for
years.
9. We would still be
waiting on the "6000 sux 58'" model to come out.
10. We'd all have to switch
to Microsoft Gas (tm).
11. Lee Iacocca would be
hired-on as Bill G.'s chauffeur.
12. The US government would
be GETTING subsidies from an motorcycle makers instead of giving them.
13. New seats will force
everyone to have the same size ass.
14. The other bike
manufacturers would all be complaining because Microsoft was putting a
radio in all its models.
Patron: Server!
Server: Hi, my name is Bill, and I'll be your Support Server.
What seems to the the problem?
Patron: There's a fly in my
soup!
Server: Try again, maybe the fly won't be there this time.
Patron: No, it's still
there.
Server: Maybe it's the way you're using the soup; try eating
it with a fork instead.
Patron: Even when I use the
fork, the fly is still there.
Server: Maybe the soup is incompatible with the bowl; what
kind of bowl are you using?
Patron: A SOUP bowl!
Server: Hmmm, that should work. Maybe it's a configuration
problem; how was the bowl set up?
Patron: You brought it to
me on a saucer; what has that got to
do with the fly in my soup?!
Server: Can you remember everything you did before you noticed
the fly in your soup?
Patron: I sat down and
ordered the Soup of the Day!
Server: Have you considered upgrading to the latest Soup of
the Day?
Patron: You have more than
one Soup of the Day each day??
Server: Yes, the Soup of the Day is changed every hour.
Patron: Well, what is the
Soup of the Day now?
Server: The current Soup of the Day is tomato.
Patron: Fine. Bring me the
tomato soup and the check. I'm
running late now.
[Server leaves and returns with another bowl of soup and the
check.]
Server: Here you are, Sir.
The soup and your check.
Patron: This is potato soup.
Server: Yes, the tomato
soup wasn't ready yet.
Patron: Well, I'm so hungry now, I'll eat anything.
[Server leaves.]
Patron: Server! There's a
gnat in my soup!
The check:
Soup of the Day $5.00
Upgrade to newer Soup of the Day $2.50
Access to support $1.00

17. Microsoft CEO: Billy-Bob (a.k.a. "Bubba") Gates
VATICAN CITY (AP) -- In a
joint press conference in St. Peter's Square this morning, MICROSOFT Corp.
and the Vatican announced that the Redmond software giant will acquire the
Roman Catholic Church in exchange for an unspecified number of shares of
MICROSOFT common stock. If the deal goes through, it will be the first
time a computer software company has acquired a major world religion.
With the acquisition, Pope
John Paul II will become the senior vice-president of the combined
company's new Religious Software Division, while MICROSOFT senior
vice-presidents Michael Maples and Steven Ballmer will be invested in the
College of Cardinals, said MICROSOFT Chairman Bill Gates.
"We expect a lot of
growth in the religious market in the next five to ten years," said
Gates. "The combined resources of MICROSOFT and the Catholic Church
will allow us to make religion easier and more fun for a broader range of
people."
Through the MICROSOFT
Network, the company's new on-line service, "we will make the
sacraments available on-line for the first time" and revive the
popular pre-Counter-Reformation practice of selling indulgences, said
Gates. "You can get Communion, confess your sins, receive absolution
-- even reduce your time in Purgatory -- all without leaving your
home."
A new software application,
MICROSOFT Church, will include a macro language which you can program to
download heavenly graces automatically while you are away from your
computer.
An estimated 17,000 people
attended the announcement in St. Peter's Square, watching on a 60-foot
screen as comedian Don Novello -- in character as Father Guido Sarducci --
hosted the event, which was broadcast by satellite to 700 sites worldwide.
Pope John Paul II said
little during the announcement. When Novello chided Gates, "Now I
guess you get to wear one of these pointy hats," the crowd roared,
but the pontiff's smile seemed strained.
The deal grants MICROSOFT
exclusive electronic rights to the Bible and the Vatican's prized art
collection, which includes works by such masters as Michelangelo and Da
Vinci. But critics say MICROSOFT will face stiff challenges if it attempts
to limit competitors' access to these key intellectual properties.
"The Jewish people
invented the look and feel of the holy scriptures," said Rabbi David
Gottschalk of Philadelphia. "You take the parting of the Red Sea --
we had that thousands of years before the Catholics came on the
scene."
But others argue that the
Catholic and Jewish faiths both draw on a common Abrahamic heritage.
"The Catholic Church has just been more successful in marketing it to
a larger audience," notes Notre Dame theologian Father Kenneth
Madigan. Over the last 2,000 years, the Catholic Church's market share has
increased dramatically, while Judaism, which was the first to offer many
of the concepts now touted by Christianity, lags behind.
Historically, the Church
has a reputation as an aggressive competitor, leading crusades to pressure
people to upgrade to Catholicism, and entering into exclusive licensing
arrangements in various kingdoms whereby all subjects were instilled with
Catholicism, whether or not they planned to use it. Today Christianity is
available from several denominations, but the Catholic version is still
the most widely used. The Church's mission is to reach "the four
corners of the earth," echoing MICROSOFT's vision of "a computer
on every desktop and in every home."
Gates described MICROSOFT's
long-term strategy to develop a scalable religious architecture that will
support all religions through emulation. A single core religion will be
offered with a choice of interfaces according to the religion desired --
"One religion, a couple of different implementations," said
Gates.
The MICROSOFT move could
spark a wave of mergers and acquisitions, according to Herb Peters, a
spokesman for the U.S. Southern Baptist Conference, as other churches
scramble to strengthen their position in the increasingly competitive
religious market.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
* 1. Novice-Question : How do I recognize Windows ?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
If your screen is invaded
by countless silly little icons no one is able to
understand, if your computers speed is reduced to almost zero, if your
hard-
disk is full, if you can't start your normal programs anymore, then indeed
you have made the fatal mistake of acquiring Microsoft Windows !
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
* 2. Virgin-Questions : What exactly is Windows ? Why do I need Windows
?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Windows is a form of modern
warfare. It's yet another attempt of the elec-
tronics industry to rape and destroy the minds of its unsuspecting
victims.
And of course you don't need Windows. It needs you. Bill Gates needs you
to
buy it to get even more rich and hateful. Rumours that the Windows project
was originally launched by psychiatrists to provide them with a constant
source of new patients have not been confirmed yet.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
* 3. McAfee-Question : Is Windows a virus ?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
No, Windows is not a virus.
Here's what viruses do:
1) They replicate quickly -
okay, Windows does that.
2) Viruses use up valuable system resources, slowing down the system
as they do so - okay, Windows does that.
3) Viruses will, from time to time, trash your hard disk - okay,
Windows does that too.
4) Viruses are usually carried, unknown to the user, along with
valuable programs and systems. Sigh... Windows does that, too.
5) Viruses will occasionally make the user suspect their system is
too slow (see 2) and the user will buy new hardware. Yup, that's
with Windows, too.
Until now it seems Windows
is a virus but there are fundamental differences :
Viruses are well supported
by their authors, are running on most systems,
their program code is fast, compact and efficient and they tend to become
more sophisticated as they mature. So Windows is not a virus. It's a bug.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
* 4. Lamer-Question : Are there any cheats for Windows ?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Repeated pressing of ALT-F4
RETURN is said to enhance the quality of the
working atmosphere. The same effect can be achieved by pressing the reset
button of your computer.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
* 5. Critics-Question : Why is Windows as bad as it is ?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
If Windows were bug-free,
fast, easy-to-use, compatible, openly structured,
cheap and efficient, in other words if Windows were a good operating
system,
there would be no need for Microsofts daily updates (also called
bug-changes)
with which they trick the money out of their customers pockets into their
own.
Also, such an operating system would not come from Microsoft, it would
come
from real programmers.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
* 6. Nintendo-Mutant-Question : Is Windows a game ? Do I need a joystick?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yes, Windows is a game ! It
has all the characteristics of a game : It has
color graphics, sound, there is movement on the screen and the user has to
press keys or use the mouse to play it. It's difficult to solve Windows or
even
Windows NT, but there are quick-guides or, for the inexperienced,
complete step-by-step walk-throughs (see also Lamer-Question). There is no
need for a joystick as Windows supports both keyboard, mouse and telepathy
(think of a system crash and you get one).
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
* 7. Programmer-Question : Are there any standards for Windows programming
?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Of course there are. More
than you can count. In fact, the wonderful thing
about Windows programming specifications is that there are so many you can
choose from and that they change from version to version. Not to forget
the
fact that no other program running under Windows makes use of them. All in
all there's only one thing you need to know : Real Programmers don't use
Windows.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
* 8. Sceptics-Question : Is this text making any sense at all ?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
As this text is about
Windows, it cannot have any sense. It's a stupid text
about a stupid would-be-program. It's kept close to the characteristics of
its subject : It's funny, senseless, useless, and time and space
consuming.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
* 9. Version-Question : What's the newest version of Windows ?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Kairo" and
"Chicago" are out of date. After first test runs, Microsoft de-
cided to rename their projects to the more appropiate titles
"Titanic" and
"Hindenburg". The alternative set of names "Atlantis"
and "Tschernobyl" has
been discarded. Rumours of other project names like "L.A.",
"New York", "Ir-
kutsk", "Chongqing", "Uppsala", "Claudia
Schiffer", "Micky Maus", "Buy Me",
"Schoppe" or "Extended Error 17" have been discarded.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
* 10. Utility-Question : Is there a tool that takes care of Windows ?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yes ! Look out for the new
V4.2 release of KillWin, available at all well
stocked computer stores and mailboxes. KillWin V4.2 features
auto-detection
of Windows on all drives and four modes of operation combined with
optional
full purging and packing. Average savings of hard disk space exceed more
than 20 MByte, average working speed is increased dramatically and user
happiness is made possible.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
* 11. Defender-Question : How can I protect my system against Windows ?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The easiest way is to make
McAfee's Scan recognize it. To do this, create a
file (e.g. "winvirus.txt") with the following content :
#The two-faced sinister
Windows Virus
"e87928bbf6048be3", Microsoft (R) Windows
(Don't forget the return at
the end of the last line !)
To check your programs for
viruses, start Scan like this :
SCAN /EXT WINVIRUS.TXT
Note that if the file is
not in the current directory, the full path name
must be specified, e.g. scan /ext
j:\dos\tools\virus\scan\ext\winvirus.txt
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
* 99. Bill Gates-Question : Are you nuts ?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yes of course, Windows made us so.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
