Microsoft Corporation today announced its intent to
purchase, copyright, and upgrade God.
The new product will be named "Microsoft God" and should be
available to consumers sometime in late 1998. "Too many
people feel separated from God in today's world," said Dave
McCavaugh, director of Microsoft's new Religions division.
"Microsoft God will make our Lord more accessible, and will
add an easy, intuitive user interface to Him, making Him not
only easier to find, but easier to communicate with."
The new Microsoft Religions line will be expanded to include
a multitude of add-on products to Microsoft God, including:
Microsoft Crusades: This conversion product will bring all
worshipper accounts and prayer files over from previous
versions of God, or from competing products like Buddha or
Allah.
Microsoft God for the World Wide Web: This product ties
Microsoft God with Microsoft Internet Information Server,
making our Lord accessible from the World Wide Web using a
standard Web browser interface. It introduces several new
Web technologies, including Dynamic Salvation and Active
Prayer Pages (APP). Donations for the poor can be donated
via a Secure Alms Server.
Microsoft Prayers: Using a Windows-based WYSIWYG interface,
this product will allow worshippers to construct effective
prayers in a minimum of time. A Secure Prayer Channel
technology allows guaranteed delivery of the prayer to
Microsoft God servers, and Prayer Wizards enable users to
construct new types of prayers with a minimum learning
curve.
Microsoft Savior: This product will allow worshippers to
transfer their sins to its internal Vice Database. After a
preset interval, the product will erase itself from the
user's system and establish a clear line of secure
communications to the user's Microsoft God server.
Additionally, Microsoft is expected to announce a line of
complimentary products for the new Religions line, which
will enhance the functionality of the Microsoft God server
product by providing a customized user interface. These
interfaces will be based on popular religious sects,
allowing worshippers to interact with the new God product in
much the same way as the previous version.
This line is expected to include Microsoft Christianity,
Microsoft Catholicism, Microsoft Judaism (incompatible with
Microsoft Savior), etc.
Competitor Netscape Communications denies rumors that it is
planning to release a competing product, Netscape Satanism,
that would attempt to render Microsoft God installations
inoperable.
