Recently one of my friends, a computer wizard, paid me a visit. As we were
talking I mentioned that I had recently installed Windows on my PC, I told
him how happy I was with this operating system and showed him the Windows
CD. Too my astonishment and distress he threw it into my micro-wave oven
and turned it on. I was 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 and it seemed to have become thicker and heavier than
before. At first I could not see anything, but on the inner edge of the
central hole I saw an inscription, in lines finer than anything I have ever
seen before. The inscription shone piercingly bright, and yet remote, as if
out of a great depth:
4F6E65204F5320746F2072756C65207468656D20616C6C2C204F6E65204F5320746F

'I cannot read the fiery letters,' I said.
'No,' he said, 'but I can. 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.
Okay, hier müßte nun eigentlich ein Bild kommen, bei dem Bill Gates in der Uniform von Sauron, wie er eine CD hält auf der elbische Buchstaben aufgedruckt sind.....
