I found this on the Net recently . . .

==========================================
Where do you want to go today?

Straight to hell, apparently.

The other day I saw another Microsoft commercial on
TV: sublime choral music drifts through the background
as the unseen user surfs through the Internet and
various Microsoft content using Internet Explorer. The
commercial closes with the Microsoft slogan "Where do
you want to go today?" and a final, furious blast of
music. It's a very cool effect. But if you dig a little
deeper...

As it turns out, the background music is the Dies Irae
of Mozart's Requiem Mass. And the words of the final
blast of music which accompanies "Where do you want to
go today?" are actually "confutatis maledictis, flammis
acribus addictis..." In English: "When the damned are
confounded, and consigned to sharp flames..."; which
describes exactly where I want to go today.

Unfortunately, while Explorer will take you to hell for
free, the upgrade to purgatory is pretty steep.
===========================================
