It's a spoof. It's a joke. It's ironic. Just a couple of examples:
I especially like the four games it comes with - Hearts, FreeCell (so
addictive!), Minesweeper, and Solitaire. It's easy to see why XP is
considered the ultimate platform for gamers.
with Windows XP I don't gotta worry about emailing viruses to my friends
and family at all. The built-in email client Outlook Express does it
automatically, in the background.
With Windows XP Home, I have the peace of mind that comes with knowing
my habits and activities are being monitored by Microsoft, and my
computer's hardware configuration and list of installed software is
being stored in a database in Redmond.
Windows Longhorn will be like having a little cop right inside your
computer, something MCSEs such as myself have been demanding for years.
Is the irony *so* obscure?
