Wow, we are lucky. The weather was clear and another satisfied Windows user has
been identified.
Actually the term "user" is somewhat improper. The "user" seems to be some kind
of DNA strain. To be honest, it looks like a virus, from a cyber-biological
point of view.
That DNA strain has been caught emitting a tiny signal while surfing the web on
Internet Explorer from a Windows XP computer. Dozens of experts have been
working on the signal, and it looks like a message (and remember, it has been
broadcasted to the whole galaxy). Here is the message:
"Hey guys, it's heaven here!"
No doubt. For some "users", Windows is a VERY satisfying product.
