Didn't you know that punning on Microsoft and Windows is the way to
prove you are kewl in today's hacker society? RMS has broken many
software packages by renaming the Emacs win32 functions "w32" because he
didn't want to associate the word "win" with anything Microsoftish. With
witty opponents attacking Microsoft with such subtle, intelligent
satire, Bill must be shaking in his boots.
