From our secret agent:
Recently one of my friends, a computer wizard, paid me a
visit. As we were talking I mentioned that I had recently
installed Windows on my PC, I told him how happy I was with
this operating system and showed him the Windows CD. Too my
astonishment and distress he threw it into my micro-wave oven
and turned it on. I was upset because the CD had become
precious to me, but he said 'Do not worry, it is unharmed.'
After a few minutes he took the CD out, gave it to me and said
'Take a close look at it.' To my surprise the CD was quite
cold and it seemed to have become thicker and heavier than
before. At first I could not see anything, but on the inner
edge of the central hole I saw an inscription, in lines finer
than anything I have ever seen before. The inscription shone
piercingly bright, and yet remote, as if out of a great depth:

'I cannot read the fiery letters,' I said.
'No,' he said, 'but I can. The letters are Hex, of an ancient
mode, but the language is that of Microsoft, which I shall not
utter here. But in common English this is what it says"
'One OS to rule them all, One OS to find them,
One OS to bring them all and in the darkness bind them...."
