An anonymous hacker group has threatened to set hundreds of Undead against Microsoft if the Redmond, WA company does not release an official Linux boot loader for the X-Box. Unless Microsoft complies with the request within ten days, says the group, the company will face annihilation as its employees are devoured alive by the living dead.
The Australian hackers have already threatened to release their own Linux bootloader for the X-Box. Such a program would allow people to turn their X-boxen into cheap, full-fledged Linux PCs with the addition of a USB keyboard and mouse.
Microsoft has already filed a lawsuit against the group, claiming that the original boot loader threat amounts to corporate blackmail. An attorney for the company added that threats of bodily harm against the company and its employees will only add to the penalties the group will have to pay.
The Australian hacker group refuses to acknowledge questions about how it came into possession of the hundreds of undead it claims to control. US Military officials have vigorously stated that all of their undead soldiers are accounted for, and this has been confirmed by independent investigators. Russian officials had no comment about the whereabouts of all of its undead soldiers, which are rumored to number in the thousands.
