Microsoft to ship new version of Windows XP

Postby ryantologyistheway » Mon 06 Jun, 2005 12:29 pm

Press Release - Dated 6-6-2005
For Immediate Release

Citing concern over future possible Anti-Trust issues raised by the European Union, Microsoft has decided to release a version of Windows XP that it feels competitors such as Apple Computer can effectively compete with.

This version of Windows removes anything that could be considered inspired by any other person or entity, among the changes include.

No support for FAT32, NTFS, Long File Names, or large hard drives, users will instead be required to use FAT16.

Users will boot to a black screen with a blinking cursor. (As having a GUI might be anti-competitive).

No support for networking or TCP/IP.

No support for video past CGA.

No File Explorer.

No support for the Windows Key.

No support for mouse, USB devices, or CD/DVD drives.

The name has not yet been announced but it will likely be named Windows XP-EC Edition.

In good faith, and as part of the due diligence phase of the project, Microsoft sent a copy of the new OS to the European Commission for review.

Italian spokesman for the commission, Guido Sarducci had this to say "We're very happy to see that Microsoft is willing to back off and stop stealing ideas from everyone else, we are however disappointed that we can't sue them for more American dollars, sure Linux ripped off ideas from everyone too, but there's no corporate entity to go after, we'll just have to keep sending things like ALDI to America to drain some of their economy to keep us chugging right along and mailing welfare checks to half of our people. What? Tell them to go to college and make something out of themselves? AMERICAN BASTARDS!!!!!!!!"


Note- This article is a joke, not meant to be taken seriously, it'll probably get deleted by the person running this site like everything else he doesn't agree with anyway though.

It's not about agreeing or disagreeing. I've seen plenty of people who disagree with Anthony and their posts stay up. It's about your manner in some & the fact that you've posted some pointless things.

What's this?

They've had an X86 based Mac OS X for a while, they just never released it cause then they couldn't gouge anyone on their hardware.


Have you read the Wall Street Journal Articles or the CNET articles. Or even seen Apple's footage from the developer's conference.

Isn't that about what a G5 cube costs now? <drum roll>


What was the point there. That's just two. If your going to post something. a) Post it in the right place. b )Be intelligent about your argument. c) Try not to bash something for the sake of bashing. With zero information to back it up. And what, I think, in at least one case was questionable language.

Take a look at me, I disagree many times with antony, and many of my posts stay.
