If Ussama bin Laden made software, it would have these differences from Microsoft.

1. It would be dynamite stuff.

2. It would crash less, but once would be enough. Afterwards you would be past caring.

3. Fatal exceptions would really be fatal. To the computer owner.

4. It would not tolerate any operating system but itself, the one true way. Whoops! That is not a difference. I must have been thinking of Windows 2000.

5. You tax software would refuse to pay anything to the Satanic government and Excel would no longer calculate interest rates.

6. If you insulted your computer it would declare a fatwah and the OS would blow up on you when you restarted it.

It is my belief tha Bill Gates has cost America more in lost time fighting with software and hardware that does not work than bin Laden has cost Americans fighting terrorism.
