Yeah but I bet Janet Jackson's boob looks better than Microsoft's
code....
Let's see... If Janet Jackson's boob was like windows....
One would have turned blue when the illegal wardrobe operation
occurred...
They would be different sizes because one was the Pro version and the
other was home.
Due to DRM, it would have not been such a ruckus because the pixels on
your TV would have hidden them, due to licensing issues.
Janet would have said "all your boob are belong to us!"
Oh well... that is all I can come up with due to lack of Caffeine and
food.....
