Can You Feel The LUV?
By Robert Breckenridge
In a move to compare Windows to Linux, Microsoft corporation has decided to move to an online distribution system, where they will provide nightly builds of their operating system for people to download and install. Microsoft officials are calling this the “Latest Unstable Version” or LUV for short. Critics are concerned about the potential security problems already inherent in Windows, much less having no time for quality assurance.
“Microsoft has to move really, really fast, and this is how we’re gonna do it,” Steve Ballmer said at the press conference. “Can you feel the LUV? I’m gonna show you my oh-face.”
When industry experts pointed out that Linux distributions have many more people actually checking the code for bugs and developing drivers and compatibility layers for diverse hardware by providing the source code on the CVS code-sharing system, Ballmer said, “This is just for consumers to get a new Windows when we’ve added another breakthrough paradigm.”
A Chevrolet spokesperson was unavailable for comment on the possibility of trademark infringement over the use of the term “LUV”.
