Patent 911?

If their success with Windows machines is anything to go by, I'm sure those of us who work in the emergency medical field are soon going to see a lot more interesting issues coming out between EMS and the ER! ROFL

Never happen. They might think it will, but it won't.

Q: How many Microsofties does it take to change a light bulb?

A: One. Bill Gates holds up the light bulb and the world rotates around him.

I would patent the world if the paperwork didn't stretch the process out to 500 years. Since my company Microsoft has invented 99% of all software and ideas, it makes sense to just patent those for now. There have been some bumps in the road, like it seems someone used the FAT file system before we invented it, and some group of photographers claim to have come up with Jpeg before us. Also there are the trademark infringements against us that we have not been able to stop, we were hoping that the Mike Rowe case would have stopped some of this. We are still trying to figure out how our blue apple and the cute penguin logo, were copyrighted before us. We are working presently on a time machine to rectify these problems.

Just letting everyone know that Longhorn will be released on schedule, as long as a fast enough system to run it is produced in time.
