Alas, the evil MS-virus also bewitched the mind of our noble martyrs, who in great confusion crashed into the WTC. Where Redmond was originally intended. But Allah will revenge them.

From another elist................
The Internet Oracle has pondered your question deeply. Your question was:
O Oracle who is ever up to date, What will be the best and worst features of the next Windows OS?
And in response, thus spake the Oracle: Microsoft is currently reworking the End User Licence Agreement (EULA) code for Windows TAO (Totalitarian And Oppressive, not to be confused with the Tao of Programming). The Top Five New Features will be: 5. Windows TAO will update its licence agreement from the internet as soon as a new version (of the licence agreement) is released, thus enabling Microsoft to continuously improve it for Bill^H^H^H^Hthe user's sake. 4. Furthermore, it will automatically accept all licence agreements for you, including its own. After all, you don't read them, do you? 3. Microsoft's EULA will be able to infect the licence agreements of other software running on the same system, forcing the user to pay licence fees to Microsoft for virtually every program ever written. 2. The EULA text will have a polymorph nature, thus hiding the whole licence agreement from EULA scanners. This was the only way Microsoft could prevent detection of malicious text, as it is spread all over the document. 1. Thanks to dot.net technology, Microsoft will not only remain informed about EULA violations. As soon as Windows TAO has infiltrated courts and banks around the world, the whole process will be entirely automated. This includes filing the lawsuit, judging the case and retrieving the money from the defendant's bank account. Thanks to Microsoft's clear marketing strategy and licence policies, these are both the top best and worst features. You owe the Oracle a UN convention concerning the User's Rights.
