Windows läggs ner?

Varje dag strömmar det in tips från läsare om nyheter, program
och annat som kan vara av intresse. Här kommer ett från en nyhetsbyrå vi
skulle kunna kalla för... DISSAN (De Inte Så Särskilt Allvarliga Nyheterna).

In a bizarre turn of events today William Gates III told us that "Further
plans for the development of Windows 98 have been discontinued." This comes
on the heels MacWorld San Fransisco and after in-house testing of Apple
Computers recent developer builds of their next generation OS codenamed
"Rhapsody".

When asked why he was discontinuing the Windows 98, Mr. Gates replied
"...After taking a good hard look at the excellent multi-platform OS coming
out of Cupertino, I realized that Winodws 98 just wouldnt be able to
compete. This new Operating System from Apple is incredible!..."

We asked Mr. Gates (who insisted we call him Bill) about what this means for
the users of Windows 95 and he responded "...this means that a new OS is
upon us, one that I believe will, as I have always stated, show that Apple
Computer really is on the forefront of technology. It also means that
Microsoft can go back to its roots and start developing quality software for
a revolutionary Operating System..."

We were stunned by this and asked Mr. Gates if he thought that the millions
of Windows 95 users would feel that Microsoft has left them "High and Dry"
and his response was "No, I firmly believe that Microsoft should have never
been in the OS business to begin with, it was not our intention. We built
Microsoft on quality desktop applications such as Word and Excel and that is
what we are going back to. Many corporations viewed the superior Macintosh
as a toy; they didnt understand the elegance of the Mac. When they finally
understood we saw an opportunity to bring a Macintosh-like environment to
the IBM PC. Windows 95 users will be happy to upgrade to Apples Rhapsody. We
are working closely with Apples engineers to ensure that the Intel version
of Rhapsody will run all of the current Windows 95 software as well as the
Native Rhapsody software."
