  REDMOND, WA -- Following months of speculation and paranoia in
  the Linux community, Microsoft has confirmed everyone's fears by
  announcing the imminent release of Microsoft Windows 98 for Linux
  (MSW4L). The new product is not a Windows emulator for Linux;
  instead, it features a set of kernel patches and userspace programs that
  make Linux more like Windows. Or, as one Microsoft representative
  said, "more user-friendly".

  The kernel patches mostly modify the Oops (kernel panic) code. With
  MSW4L, kernel errors will be displayed in a white-on-blue character
  cell screen. One kernel patch randomly adds the line strcpy(NULL,
  "Microsoft wins!"); throughout the kernel, causing random
  bluescreens.

  The userspace programs replace commonly used utilities. For example,
  here's a screenshot of the MSW4L rm command (also called DEL and
  ERASE):
  
  

  [root@testbox root]# rm testfile~
