My Waterford Crystal ball reveals that in late 2002 Microsoft will acquire The Coca-Cola Company and take its cues from the tried-and-true marketing practices.
Windows 2000 will be known as "Classic Windows." Microsoft's newest OS will be "New Windows."
When people realize they liked Classic Windows better than New Windows, Microsoft will discontinue New Windows, keep Classic Windows for the diehards, and furnish a new OS based on Linux, shipping under a made-up name: BGsani.
Slashdot Mirror
1. Rocks - serve as weapons (ouch!), kitchen utensils (mortar and pestle) and paper weights
2. Can opener - canned goods not so good when opened with a rock
3. Electric can opener - reduces risk of carpal tunnel syndrome
4. Finger nail clipper - provides a cleaner cut than your incisors
5. Scissors - coupons now far less messy
6. Wallet - try sticking baby photos, credit cards and coupons in a bill fold
7. TV remote control - remember the required body movement to turn the VHF and UHF knobs? (What? How old are you anyway?)
8. Paper clips - no more folding the edges of paper together with a wad of spit
9. Stapler - trash cans now free of paper clips bent into odd, useless shapes
10. Laser scalpel - made bovine mutilation cheap and affordable
Disclaimer: if you think I post this list in jest, please note I did not include The Clapper.
