Top Ten Signs That Linux Has Bill Gates Worried
-----------------------------------------------

10 - New numbering scheme. Instead of Windows 95, it is now 
     Windows 3.1.pl95.

 9 - His wife says he's wild in bed now. He is tossing and turning 
     in his sleep, not just laying there.

 8 - Microsoft's headquarters moves to Finland.

 7 - Windows performance is now measured in BogoGPF's.

 6 - Bill's consulting with his lawyers on whether or not they could
     defeat the GPL.

 5 - 1995 came. Linux was already here. Windows95 just barely made it.

 4 - Flowers sent to Janet Reno with a note saying "What's a little
     anti-trust between friends."

 3 - Renames Star Wars action figures as "Bill Skywalker" and "Darth
     Torvalds"

 2 - Whenever someone asks him about Windows, all he can say is "X"


And the number one sign that Bill Gates is worried about Linux:

 1 - He sent Linus the source for Windows 95 with a note that says
     "HELP ME SAVE MY ASS!"
