The old familiar song Troll Budget Increase

Peter Kšhlmann

The old familiar chorus:

But we'll all, go to heaven, when the next release comes out. And we'll all, go to heaven, when the next release comes out.

Of coures the verses go something like.

Came the big show, MS-DOS it was unfurled. But no one even noticed, no one's hair even got uncurled. So Billy made the key note speech saying, "next year we'll get it right", just PLEASE don't go spending, all your money on UNIX tonight.

But we'll all, go to heaven, when the next release comes out. And we'll all, go to heaven, when the next release comes out.

Windows was announced, to be out by the Winter snows. . Through the big show and the demo, everybody dosed. But Billy made the keynote speech, and said "well get it right" So PLEASE don't spend all your money on UNIX tonight.

New Technology (NT) was announced, to be out by the sunny days They hyped in and they promoted, in so many ingeneous ways. But with all those nifty promises, so bold, and so arrogantly brash, when we finally got the real thing home all the darn thing did was crash.

But we'll all, go to heaven, when the next release comes out. And we'll all, go to heaven, when the next release comes out.

Billy made the keynote speech, he promised "plug and play". And no one got all that impressed, Linux already had it anyway. It came out with to bundleware, they called it "an extension", but every body knew, it was netscape and Linux prevention.

But we'll all, go to heaven, when the next release comes out. And we'll all, go to heaven, when the next release comes out.

At the keynote Bill said "trust me", can a Billionaire be wrong? You'd think those people had never heard this familiar Bill Gates song. They ported all their web sites, and servers to 4.0 Bet when the budgets ran sky high, the CEO said More? NO!!!

But we'll all, go to heaven, when the next release comes out. And we'll all, go to heaven, when the next release comes out.

At the summer billy keynote. Billy made a spectacular scene. But what the people liked the most was that pretty big blue screen. Billy said we no it's buggy, and we know it's very late But you get every thing you've ever wanted, in Windows 98.

But we'll all, go to heaven, when the next release comes out. And we'll all, go to heaven, when the next release comes out.

So Billy, getting frantic said we'll call it Win2K, Tell 'em any thing you want Just keep those UNIX folks at BAY. Billy called in all his boys and said "we've got to get it right" 'Cause those folks have bought loaded that Linux "thing" tonight.

But we'll all, go to heaven, when the next release comes out. And we'll all, go to heaven, when the next release comes out.
