Microsoft offers Public Beta Test of Next Windows

New version of Windows, dubbed Windows RG, available now via remote Internet demo. Help support Microsoft in developing the best Windows yet.Redmond, WA - Microsoft has initiated a public beta test of their next version of Windows, called Windows RG. This latest version of the operating system promises new features that will bring enhanced levels of utilty and enjoyment as compared to previous versions. Also, due to bugs and security flaws in older versions of their operating system, Microsoft recommends upgrading as soon as possible.

Windows RG now includes Microsoft Word, bringing the word processor to everyone's desktop. Previously, Word was only available as a separate purchase, or as part of the Microsoft Office suite of applications.

RG also allows you to order food over the Internet, which will be delivered to your doorstep in 30 minutes. A few vendors have already signed on, giving you choices in what you can order. The order form takes all the confusion out of online ordering, which until now has varied from one restaurant's website to the next -- all food can now be ordered from a familiar, common interface.

You can try Windows RG now. A full-screen remote Internet demo is available for a time-limited beta. After the beta test period has expired, Windows RG will be available for purchase at computer stores and malls everywhere, with Windows RG Home available for $299 MSRP. Coder James Cliffe is responsible for the remote demo interface available in Windows RG.

Linux on X-Box team threatens Microsoft with Ultimatum

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.
