From the Book of Coding
In the beginning, there was DOS
And DOS was most harsh and bleak.
Then, came the Gates,
And the Gates said,
“Let there be a Desktop”
And an unending plain of clouds did appear.
Then the Gates did say,
“Let there be icons”
And as the Gates demanded, so shall was he obeyed.
And all used Microsoft.
And then the Gates said, upon surveying his creation,
“I shall call thee Windows 3.11 for Workgroups,
And I shall give thee to the PC users, for they are
My choose people, and I shall provide them with all
Their software needs for as long as they abide by my End-User
Licenses.
And all used Microsoft.
And so, the chosen people of Gates were happy, and prospered.
Then, the mighty Gates said, “I am unhappy with thy current selection of software. I shall give unto thee, my people, a mighty suite of applications,Yea, a suite of applications unlike any yet seen by mortal man. This suite shall be known as Microsoft Office, and it shall be from this point on, the industry standard.”
And all continued to use Microsoft.
Then from his high seat in Redmond, the Gates did look down upon The world, and he did see an area as yet untouched by His awesome power. The Gates said, “I shall create a web browser, Yes, a web browser that shall cleanse the world of the taint of Netscape.”
And so Microsoft Internet Explorer was created, and was given to The people of the world.
And all used Microsoft… but not all were happy.
The Gates saw this, and was distressed. His chosen PC users were unhappy with his GUI, with his application suite, yea even with his browser. And so the Gates said, “Mine people are unhappy, for they have been tainted by an Evil that has been spread by those of the multicolored fruit. These pagans who call themselves Mac users shall be cleansed from the world. Verily, I shall send forth a flood of new software, spearheaded by a new OS, an OS that shall by its very nature be holy, and all will be good” and so the Gates sent forth from Redmond his greatest creation yet, Windows 95.
And as the Gates said, the world was indeed overcome with software for his most holy OS. Once more, all used Microsoft. Once more, the Gates issued new releases of his most holy software for most gracious prices, and His kingdom of Redmond did grow, and His host of programmers did grow, and, most importantly, His bank accounts did grow, and the Gates was happy.
