What you did not know about Windows XP


Recently one of my friends, a computer wizard, paid me a visit.
As we were talking I mentioned that I had recently installed Windows XP on my
PC. I told him how happy I was with this operating system, and showed him the
Windows XP CD. To my surprise he threw it into my microwave oven and turned the
oven on. Instantly I got very upset, because the CD had become precious to me,
but he said: 'Do not worry, it is unharmed.' After a few minutes he took the CD
out, gave it to me and said: 'Take a close look at it.' To my surprise the CD
was quite cold to hold and it seemed to be heavier than before. At first I
could not see anything, but on the inner edge of the central hole I saw a
inscription, an inscription finer than anything I have ever seen before. The
inscription shone piercingly bright, and yet remote, as if out of a great
depth:

12413AEB2ED4FA5E6F7D78E78BEDE8209450920F923A40EE10E510CC98D444AA08E1324

'I cannot understand the fiery letters,' I said.

'No, but I can,' he said. 'The letters are Hex, of an ancient mode, but the
language is that of Microsoft, which I shall not utter here. But in common
English this is what it says:'

One OS to rule them all, One OS to find them,
One OS to bring them all and in the darkness bind them...

I'm guessing that was a reference to ROTR, but I haven't seen it yet so I wouldn't know for sure :eek:

Nobody simply walks into Redmond. There is evil there. The very air you breathe is poisonous.

We have only one choice. The CD must be destroyed.

One of you will do this.

I heard a story from a guy who got interviewed at Redmond. He had a shuttle bus waiting for him with his name written on a sign. He was driven and escorted everywhere for 7 or so consecutive interviews! :Q

So, who's going to across the Olmpic Penninsula, traverse the North Cascade, into Mount Rainier, St. Helens and Adams.

I just heard the news that Intel of Isengard has betrayed us! :Q


<< Build me an army worthy of Microsoft >>


That was the latest instructions from Bill Gates himself to Intel.

We must detour through the glaciers of Canada.
