You get all sorts of posts in the Microsoft community newsgroups: users asking for help or submitting suggestions, users bashing Microsoft, and so on. Occasionally, there is a hilarious post as well, like the following one. So, without further adue, I give you:

Shut the windows and Open the “GATES”

Greets,

It is nice to communicate to ALL this way.I am sharing my brain wave with you which I think,if AGREED BY MICROSOFT BOARD MEMEBERS will be a fitting tribute to the great man who founded MICROSOFT.I wish to humbly state that Mr.BILL GATES in spite of his richness , power and the aura ,has not yet got his full due for the wonderful contribution he has had gifted to the mankind.

From the inception ,MSFT’s software were serving as the “WINDOWS” TO THE WORLD OF COMMUNICATION. Now,MSFT is on the verge of introducing the new MS WINDOWS 2007.

Therefore,this new soft ware should aptly be named or christened as “MS GATES 2007″ as this will open up flood gates of new computing tools.

Therefore,it is time for the WINDOWS to shut and open the “GATES”.

All these years,we have seen the OFFICE only through the “WINDOWS”.Now,we should see and enter this OFFICE through the “GATES”!

History and posterity should always UTTER THIS GREAT MAN’S NAME!

The power of recital of the man’s name by millions of people world wide would catapult MSFT into further enviable position and position Mr.Bill Gates as the FATHER OF KNOWLEDGE SHARING.

I want the internet user community to vote overwhelmingly for my above proposal and idea so that the MICROSOFT DECISION MAKERS will introduce the newer version of MSFT as MS GATES 2007.
