One to rule them all

Following is the story of an innocent computer user and a revelation of a great and mighty evil.

Lord of the OS's


Recently one of my friends, a computer wizard, paid me a visit.


As we were talking I mentioned that I had recently installed Windows XP on my PC. I told him how happy I was with this operating system, and showed him the Windows XP CD.


To my surprise he threw it into my microwave oven and turned the oven on. Instantly I got very upset, because the CD had become precious to me, but he said: 'Do not worry, it is unharmed.'


After a few minutes he took the CD out, gave it to me and said: 'Take a close look at it.' To my surprise the CD was quite cold to hold and it seemed to be heavier than before. At first I could not see anything, but on the inner edge of the central hole I saw a inscription, an inscription finer than anything I have ever seen before. The inscription shone piercingly bright, and yet remote, as if out of a great depth:

'I cannot understand the fiery letters,' I said.


'No, but I can,' he said. 'The letters are Hex, of an ancient mode, but the language is that of Microsoft, which I shall not utter here. But in common English this is what it says:'




One OS to rule them all, One OS to find them,

One OS to bring them all and in the darkness bind them
