Microsoft today announced that its next operating system, code-named "Xunil," will not only have a new, less ugly interface, but is also expected to crash 500 percent less often. A quiet, contemplative and sinew Steve Ballmer announced the new OS from a window overlooking a mass of huddled Windows users. After the announcement, the crowd exploded into cheering and rioting. As the ecstatic crowd ran through the streets of Readmon, Washington, many business owners were overheard saying, "Finally! I can fire that little snot-nosed help desk kid."

Further details about the OS have been gleaned from hackers. These handsome young men and women found that Microsoft plans to give away the operating system and that it will be totally industry-compliant. Beta versions of the OS have a totally revamped interface with tasteful colors and simple, easy-to- understand controls. When asked about the new interface, the design team said, "Microsoft finally got around to firing all the beauty school dropouts on the user-interface team." Another great feature of Xunil is that the entire installation requires only 10 Megabytes of disk space and 8 Megs of R.A.M.

In what may or may not be related news, Steve Jobs was seen pre- registering to get a copy of the new OS. Other Mac fanatics have been seen wandering the streets with a dazed look on their face mumbling the words of "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" under their breath. After the announcement, the stock market jumped 600 points, and investors were seen using Microsoft stock to wipe their noses as well. Also, the justice department spontaneously combusted today.
