Microsoft Purchases Evil From Satan
By Brian Briggs

Redmond, WA - Microsoft purchased evil from Satan for $2.7 billion after many months of tough negotiations.

"We've been after Satan for some time," said CEO Steve Ballmer. "Negotiations were tough, but I think both Microsoft and the Prince of Darkness are happy with this deal."

Microsoft already controls 15% of the evil market, and with this purchase that number nears 100%. The Department of Justice voiced concerns over one corporation controlling so much evil, and launched investigations.

"We feel that there are real opportunities with evil, and that when evil is integrated into our next generation of Windows products consumers will appreciate evil on their desktop," said Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates. "Businesses haven't been able to fully realize their evil potential. With evil integrated into Office XP, corporations big and small will begin to see enhanced evil productivity."

"Evil is a real growing market," market strategist Frank Dresgan of Merrill Lynch explained. "Microsoft is a little late in the game, but even when they enter a market late they still tend to dominate. I think we'll see the same results with evil."

"I've been dealing with Microsoft for some time," Lucifer said. "I've been at this evil thing for millions of years, and wanted a way out. I considered an IPO, but then Steve-O and Billy came along and told me about their 'Evil Everywhere' plan. I just couldn't refuse."

Evil was founded by Satan close to the beginning of time. It has been growing steadily ever since, although most of the growth has accelerated in the past five years with the development of the Internet. Satan plans to retire to a small island in the Bahamas and write a column for the local newspaper.

Someone shoot me. I bought a new laptop at work for myself (giving mine to new employee, it's only 8 months old) with Vista because I really do need to figure out what software we use works/doesn't before it becomes a major issue.

I HATE VISTA!!!!!

Just like Mac commercials, you click Update and it asks if I really meant to do that or not. ARGH!

I know I can shut all that stuff off, but it's ridiculous that I'll have to do it to every single computer we get.

The good news: I have 12 brand new desktops in boxes in my office on my storage rack, all identical machines, ALL WITH XP PRO.

Rant over.

I agree. Vista sucks. After dealin with my little bro's computer for college and my sisters new laptop, both are CONSIDERABLY slower than my bottom of the barrel XP machine. Nice lookin interface, just no good.They tried to hard to make it idiotproof.

When you figure it out, let me know. I get so po'd w/Vista that I don't have the patience to deal with it.

Are you daft?

Once the disk is finalized, nothing else can be written to it. Where it's been.... lol

What's it going to have on it anyways? A virus that will keep your system from working?
You'd have to wipe out Vista to put XP on there anyways.

The general population is too freaked out when it comes to computers and especially viruses.



Not trying to start a fight...
