Microsoft humour

Got the inspiration for this parody watching the Grinch:

How The Bill-grinch Stole Personal Computing
(Sung to the tune of “You’re a mean one, Mr. Grinch”)

You’re a mean one, Mr. Gates
You really are a geek
Your company writes software
Whose security is weak – Mr. Gates
It’s marketing double-talk…every time that you speak

You’re a monopolist, Mr. Gates
You must hate to compete
When there’s a better product,
You buy them out within a week – Mr. Gates
At least ‘til the justice department…came down with antitrust heat

You’re a quitter, Mr. Gates
You couldn’t finish school
Fixing your stoperating system bugs
Takes an oversized tool – Mr. Gates
Anyone who likes windows…is an uninformed fool

Re: Microsoft humour

Does anybody know Thurl Ravenscroft? I'd love to hear him sing this.

It's funny I was thinking this same thing, Dale, but it also makes sense to have a lightning rod in place too.
