Our Ballmer, who art in Redmond,
hallowed be thy Gates.
Thy patches come,
thy will be done,
on clients as it is on servers.
Give us this day our daily security bug.
Forgive us our software piracy,
as we forgive those who copy our software.
And lead us not into Open Source,
but deliver us from Linux. Amen.
(A Windows user's prayer I just wrote.)
