Here is the press release:

Quote:

Through a comedic series of events, involving small flightless birds, a roll of duct tape, and a bottle of Sangria, Windows 7 was 'accidentally' used on the servers for Slackware.com 3 weeks ago. When interviewed about this yesterday, one of the birds, named "Franco" said "Well, see, it was a rip-roaring time. Feathers everywhere, music blasting. Around 2AM, one of my flock said 'Hey! Wouldn't it be funny to put Windows on these servers!' Well, we did, and promptly passed out. When we woke up, our flight south was due to leave, so we had to hurry to the airport. Unfortunately, all our Twitter phones don't work in Antarctica, so we were never able to inform Pat"

Due to Windows inherent instability, chaos was the inevitable result, and the servers crashed. Slackware users everywhere were stunned. Some even asked "Why us?". Others just shrugged, knowing that computers sometimes go "Poof" for no reason that they should know. However, this reporter thought there was more to this story than a simple server crash, and headed to Redmond, Washington.

When asked about the incident, Bill Gates replied "Duh. Huh? Where's my slippers?"

All of this begs the questions

Why was there a party in the server room?
Why wasn't this reporter invited? (I own my own roll of duct tape)
Was 'Franco' as his buddies hired by Microsoft to sabotage Slackware.com, and claim it as their own?
Who stole Bill Gate's slippers?

More on this breaking story as it develops.
