Loved this paragraph:

The new ‘Leopard MS Amalgam' OS will work on any PC (or Mac) running an Intel or AMD processor (1.8GHz or faster) with 2GB of physical RAM and 60-120GB free hard drive space. It will be offered in the following versions: Home Basic X, Home Ultimate X, Family X, SoHo X, Business X and Enterprise X.

I hope that no one uses that as an Aprils Fools Joke because that is not funny

Microsoft couldn't touch Apple. Apple has too much cash on hand and is doing too well financially.

oh, wait, it was a joke.
