2 things.
1. This is old (as are most jokes and stories spread around the net).
M$ has been using that music for some years.
2. This is a Linux mailing list. This has nothing to do with Linux.
While it may be humorous, let's not get in the habit of sending M$
bashing mail here, if everyone did it, it would get ugly. If in the
course of discussing Linux, you just happen to make fun of some
companies, that might be located in Redmond, WA, that is a different
matter all together.
