»Matrix Analogy, Comical and Insightful?«

Matrix = Network Running Windows 2000
Architect = Bill Gates
Zion = Rival and much smaller Linux network
Morpheus and Resistance = Linux users who also hack into Windows 2000
Neo = System Administrator
Oracle = Clippey (the paper clip thing from Microsoft Word)
Smith = Anti-Virus Program (very buggy however)
Merovingian = Adware
Persephone = Cool software that unfortuneatley came with the adware
Fight between Neo and Smith = Core Wars

If Bill Gates had his way, everyone would run windows. Unfortuneately he can't do this. This would give him a monopoly, so people are given an option of running a different operating system, Linux. There have been 5 previous system adminstrators and Windows had to be rebooted / upgraded five previous times because it crashes too much. The system administrator is supposed to back up all the files in case this happens.

The system administrator is compelled to try Linux by the hackers. He loves it and hacks back into windows to try and bring more users over. THis causes the anti-virus software to go crazy. The administrator is hacking in? The buggy software can't handle this problem and immediate starts to take over the whole network to stop the admin.

The admin has special powers because he's the admin. He often talks to Clippey for help, clippey really does want to help all the users but he speaks in cyrptic messages and is often difficult to understand. THe admin is confronted with an error message, it says do you want to reload windows? He says no because he doesn't want his friends account to get deleted. He then allows for his account to be overwritten so he can pinpoint the memory location of anti-virus smith and have the code re-written. He loses his account.

No doubt a new administrator will be back someday when the system crashes again.

Kind of makes some sense? No?
I know its very simple and there is a lot I didn't mention. Feel free to disect it.

Scene between Neo and the Source: (or the SysAd and Microsoft)

Neo: We need to talk.

MS: We don't need to talk to you, Get the f*ck out, you troublemaker!

Neo: Just talk to me, bro... okay?

MS: We don't need anything from you... we have our own support staff.

Neo: You can't remove the Smith Anti-Virus V6.0 by yourselves!

MS: So?

Neo: Listen, I'll debug Smith for you, just stop giving my Linux site flak.

MS: Deal, but if you fail, we're buying your ISP out from under you...



Later: (Bill Gates and Clippy)

Bill: This was a dangerous game you've played...

Clippy: You look like you're trying to type...

Bill: Get off of it. Seriously, you could have wrecked everything!

Clippy: Would you like to Open a New document?
or
Will you let us use Linux?

Bill: WTF... Okay, I'll let the other users go, and I'll allow them to rewrite you programs for the new OS... but how long do you think it'll be before Microsoft OWNS Linux, huh?

Clippy: La de da... tomorrow's another day.
