Just in: Microsoft Announces New OS Product!
Bill Gates, CEO of Microsoft and creator of Windows OS, has recently announced a new line of product: Windows SP. Gates explains the name stands for "SuPerior". He continues that Linux and Open Source is insecure and unreliable. He recommends that all companies use the newest stable software from Microsoft, which has been announced 100% safe from any malicious attacks, apart from those written by people, Ballmer says in an earlier interview.
An anonymous Linux user has commented that SP also stands for service pack.

Maybe its not funny to you, but unforunately it is the truth. And with all due respect, nobody's asking you to stay here with us "anti-ms pussies". Maybe this (http://groups.msn.com/browse.msnw?catid=16) is the forum for you.

By the way, I just tried Windows Media Player 9 for the first time since I was horrified by the beta version. Man, I thought final versions were supposed to be better than the betas.
Title: What name should the next windows version have?
Post by: Annorax on 1 February 2004, 10:00: Normally final versions are better than betas, and M$'s do just what they're supposed to. Unfortunately, M$ betas are designed to find out just how much bullshit users will put up with before they say "fuck it" and uninstall the thing.

So... they are better at what they're supposed to do... but that something is probably something you don't want it to do.

Post by: Kintaro on 5 February 2004, 18:17: Longhorn is just bill gates being modest about the size of his wang.

Palladium as we all know is an element, maybe its a sign of Microsoft attempting to buy out the periodic table as well.

Or maybe like how Palladium the element is found among some copper and silver ores, is like the Source code in the Microsoft Product are found among solid and reliable software.

Oh and lets not forget the MIT trashcan.

First of all, thats old Jimmy. You've said that before and nobody laughed.

Second, the next Windows version will be called Windows XP...Reloaded. Looks like Billy doesnt have any imagination and has seen too much Matrix.

And the note about Window 11 for bankruptcy, may not be too far off, now that MS has shown they can't write software and have to pirate even Linux.

You'd be happy if we shot all the non-Linux users? That'd reduce the population of Earth by about 99.5%... just enough to doom humanity to a few generations of futile reproduction, replicative fading, genetic stagnation, and eventual extinction. You could even go 2000 years into the future and return to MS-Planet of the Apes...

That's an easy one: Wile E. Coyote. Think about that a moment. Mr. Coyote, in his never-ending quest to catch the Road Runner is forever buying one thing or another from the Acme Corp. Not once has anything he bought from Acme ever worked the way it should. (Remind you of anything yet? ;) ) Despite the obviously defective nature of everything this company makes, Wile E. keeps going back and back, buying the latest thing.

Doesn't Wile E. Coyote bear a most striking resembelance to Windows users? (http://tongue.gif) :D

Since the letters 'XP' appear on my church's altar (I don't recall what they stand for there), when I first heard of Microsoft Windows XP, I thought, Is Bill Gates now trying to portray God and roll out a 'holy' version of Windows? Then I thought, Actually, he's been doing that all along... ;)
