Ummm, does the word gullable mean anything to you? Did you read the "What
others are saying:"?  I like the "How do I get Linux?"

"How do I get MS Linux?

"We are now offering the MS Linux Introductory CD at a special introductory
price of only $249.99 (plus shipping and handling), if you order before it
ships.

"MS Linux is released under the provisions of the Gates Private License,
which means you can freely use this Software on a single machine without

Yes and I posted the fact that I was hornswaggeled.

Now, if it was real how would this be any different than Lindows Charging
$99, certainly not unlike MS to do this. The point is moot but this would
certainly NOT have given it away as fast as the comments did.

Hey, I bet they would try this too, afterall, their distro would be better
and more stable and less susceptable to securty problems right? And in the
back I got this great suspension bridge I can sell ya....

nice spoof site... now archived via Konqueror's excellent archiving
feature...

I wonder just how long this spoof site's going to last now it's been
exposed in here???

ISTR other spoof sites have been shut down pretty pronto after receiving
cease and desist orders for breach of the Microsoft (tm) Trademark...

This is old.  Really old.  Still funny to see, though.  Scary at the same
time.  I wonder what it'll turn into next month..

Not to worry, I first saw this site about two years ago, so I don't think
it's going anywhere.  I believe it's covered under fair use.

No, This is a web page from the Horror, not comedy, genera.

It's covered under parody. Fair use is serious.
