The spate of conspiracy theories linking some aspect of WinXP to the number 666 or an obscure Nostradamus prediction...

the purchaser of the first WinXP system attempted to install the OS on his laptop so that he can take full advantage of the features on the road. Subsequently, a big 3D image of Bill Gates' head on a blue background encompassed the screen. Mr. Gates' single index finger then popped up and shook vigorously back and forth.

The purchaser immediately had an MI, not because he hadn't read the EULA, but because anyone would be scared s**tless by Windows' "new and improved" blue screen of death, which will now shut down computers everywhere not because of hefty codework but because Mr. Gates' head doesn't like bad licensing.

Good God man, you're right! What on earth was I thinking?!

The Evil Mr. Gates must be stopped! This cannot be allowed to come to pass...um...

They already mod down everything I post when I don't even mention Windows. How is this any different from normal, again?

...this is newsworthy? First (yet another) Monty Python lego story. Then stuff on PYRAMID KEYBOARDS (ie dumbest thing since bending over and ripping your anus wide open and posting it on a certain site). Now we have the "news" of the "First Windows XP system sold"? What's next? First AC who actually buys something from Think Geek? Osama bin Ladin says "George Bush has bad gas?" Cowboy Neal finally gets laid!?

Sorry, but this was the dumbest thing I've read in a while. :p
