*Star Wars music*
Steve Ballmer: "Arise Lord Vista!"
*Many days later*
Vista: "Linux, I am your father! And Steve Sidious is your grandpa! Just give me your sabre-hand and I will rid you of those 235 patent infringments!"

What does Linux reply? =)

I think you messed up:

Ballmer: "Arise Lord Vista"

*Many Days Later*

Vista: "I don't think Linus Torvalds told you about your father"

Gnome/KDE: "He told me enough, he told me you stole him from Xerox!"

Vista: "No XWindow, I AM YOUR FATHER!"

*Many more days later*

Linus Torvalds: "So you see, when Windows was stolen from Xerox PARC, the GUI was no longer a means to an end, but a commodity to be traded. That day, the GUI died and the Microsoft Tax took off. In a way, Lord Vista did kill your father."
