A little story 

Kevin:Escape from the MS Fortress. Date:27/72024. Actual date:15/01/2010

Kevin picked himself up and was just about to brush himself off when hundreds of

Microsoft Bob faces with mouse button 'hands' came out and did the job for him. He was alone in the giant fortress. Far away, the wheezy little noise of Bill screaming with laughter echoed off the walls. He had inside his internet-enabled cell these things: A bed with a blue cover. (complete with IE and Bob cuddly toys.) and a toilet

which was blocked, because it couldn't connect to the Microsoft Human Waste Server. Also, someone had tried to install Firefox on the toilet, so the 120TB(Toilet

Byte) hard disk had gone down, trying to enter it's BIOS('press Flush to enter Setup'.) A small PC was lodged in the wall, but it was no fun. Kevin whipped out his

USB flash drive, with Ubuntu on, but it was no good. It would not detect it. When he tried to set up a small wireless network between the wall PC and has laptop, intending to do a network boot, it finally did get into Ubuntu Setup. After a few moments, the noise of Bill laughing turned into a petrified scream. All the servers on the network were going crazy! Everywhere in Microcity, everyone stopped walking. The voice of Bill in their heads stopped saying “Go there. Walk to the bus

stop”. Why? Because the Micro Probes had been shut off. All the people were just seeing BSOD's in front of them. The world just stopped. Meanwhile, Kevin(the only un-probed person) suddenly remembered his kung-fu moves.”Hi ya!!” He kicked open the door. The Micro bots which were on guard were saying continuously “Press Cnrl+Alt =Del to start Windows Microbot x128-bit.” Kevin ran around the corridors, which looked like Windows boxes.-wait It WAS Windows! Kevin was running along the Taskbar... nearly on top of an IE icon-EEK! It was filled with lava!

Then Kevin knew now what Bill had done all those years ago. He'd created a massive version of Windows- Windows World. The whole world was stored on  massive hard disk that Bill had put everyone in. Then Kevin found out why everyone

used to laugh at him in MS ActiveSchool-He was in the shape of the mouse pointer!

Kevin, realising his new power, had now made himself to the 'Torture' folder. It was

the place where supposedly 'bad' programs were kept and tortured-by MS Office

paper-clips, and Ms Bobs'. There in the c:\Torture\Filthy Scum\ sub-folder, was a

beaten up old Firefox 4.0 program. The Fox had been so badly hacked and his tabbed browsing/Flash player/JavaScript had been taken away, so there was no more fire left in him. You see, a Firefox is a 'flame-dependent' animal, so without fire, he cannot live. The Fox fell into Kevin's mouse-pointer hands and gave one last word-”You are not..alone...” Then,with one sigh, he fell onto his Earth-dead. You see, Windows World was so big, that the Fox kept the earth going and sat on top of it. (You've seen a Firefox icon, before: A fox sitting on the world) But it takes a lot

of fire to withstand torture and support a planet. Otherwise, Earth would have been

turned into another program on Windows World. Kevin wiped a tear from his eye and realised his mission-The Fox had said: “ You are not alone” so: Find another browser which wasn't IE, save Earth, and escape from Windows World. Taking Earth under his arm, Kevin grimly set off and went.
