Microsoft, Southern Style
What would life be like if Microsoft was headquarted in Redmond, Mississippi, instead of Redmond, Washington?
- Their #1 product would be Micr'sawft Winders
- Instead of an hourglass icon you'd get an empty beer bottle
- Occasionally you'd bring up a window that was covered with a hefty bag
- Dialog boxes would give you the choice of "Ahh-right" or " Naw"
- Instead of "Ta-Da!", the opening sound would be Dueling Banjos
- The "Recycling Bin" in Winders '95 would be an outhouse
- Whenever you pulled up the Sound Player you'd hear a digitized drunk
redneck yelling "Freebird!'
- Peripheral products would include a beer tap
- Powerpoint would be named "ParPawnt"
- Interconnectivity would be a goal at a family reunion
- Winders 95 logo would incorporate the Confederate Flag
- Micr'sawft Word would be just that: one word
- Instead of latte carts we'd have grit carts
- New Shutdown sound: "Y'all come back now, Yah hear?!"
- Instead of VP, Micr'sawft big shots would be called "Cuz"
- Hardware could be repaired using parts from an old TranS Am
- Micr'sawft Office replaced with Micr'sawft Henhouse
- Four words: Daisy Duke screen saver
- Well, the first thing you know, old Bill's a billionaire
- Spreadsheet software would include examples to inventory dead cars
in your front yard
- Flight simulator upgraded to Tractor Pull Simulator
- Micr'sawft CEO: Bubba Gates
