For:

11.) The percentage that will be complete on the shipping date.

10.) The number of floppies it will ship on.

09.) The percentage of people who will have to upgrade their
hardware.

08.) The number of megabytes of hard disk space required.

07.) The number of pages in the *EASY-INSTALL* version of the
manual.

06.) The percentage of existing windows programs that won't run in
the new OS.

05.) The number of minutes to install.

04.) The number of calls to tech support before you can get it to
run.

03.) The number of people who will actually PAY for the upgrade.

Nope it stands for the I.Q. of the dislexic programmers who create the buggy thing. I.E."56" but if that were the case where would you put the decimal for Win2k? http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif

95
The number of blue screens per month.

The percentage of problems you finally fix before you upgrade and start all over.

Amount (in billions) MS hopes to make off it.

Number of major bugs planted in it.

Number of days until the built in "self destruct" activates.
