London, 2084.
Standing in the centre of London, opposite Big Bill and rest of The Westminster Agricultural Tower (TT), I looked across the fluorescent green Thames River. The sun baked down as the Green X upon the digital face of Big Bill signalled 3pm. It then promptly displayed the message "Abort, Retry, Fail" and came to a standstill… again.
It had only been 2 days since the launch of Windows XP ver. 89.90.99, and already Microsoft had created a swarm of add-on packs and patches, thus breaking all known World Records. The OS not only ran the minds of the Prime Minister and his cabinet, but now controlled the entire city of London- the weather, the traffic flow and even the regularity of flushes in public toilets. Where-ever you went Big Bill's program would be there monitoring your efficiency level, and prompting you to upgrade your version of Microsoft Toilet or Microsoft Eat.
Failure to upgrade regularly would inevitably result in a vital body function crashing irreparably- causing mortality... or worse.
Today saw the launch of Windows upgrade pack 83748.8788b, and demand was high. With only 1 million units available at launch- some of which were bound to be faulty- people had been queuing for hours to get their copy. Without this, bodily functions, such as going to the toilet, became impossible.
Today also saw the launch of a new cyber-army: the Super Linux Anti-MS Gang (SL*G), who planned to unleash a deadly computer virus over the city. Linux OS users would remain completely unaffected- mainly because there were no Linux users, and even if there had been, there were no useful applications for Linux to be affected by the virus in any case.
In order to plant the virus, the SL*G had to infiltrate a MS core building- such as the TT. Once in the building, they would have to navigate the unintelligent Artificial Intelligence and the insecure Security systems that MS had put in place.
This would simply involve saying to the computer “Why don’t you?” when the computer asked for the SL*G member’s security clearance. Upon such action, the computer would enter a never-ending recursive cycle, and crash once it had used all its memory.
They could then simply proceed to the upper level of the complex and plant the virus in the main core- a computer fused with the brain of Bill Gates.
However, things were not to work out that well for the SL*G. After successfully navigating the security system and entering the top floor of the building, they were faced with the ultimate foe- Microsoft’s lawyers….
Who killed them.
The end.
