[Klug-general] Finally M$ free (nothing to do with W10)

[David Halliday]

We can now resurrect this old joke with a new twist!

*Three engineers were riding in a car: a mechanical engineer, a chemical
engineer, and a Microsoft software engineer. The car stalled, and they
rolled it to the side of the road.*

*The mechanical engineer popped the hood, looked in and said "Look. The
drive belt is loose. All we have to do is tighten it up and the car will
work just fine."*

*The chemical engineer replied "No, that's all wrong. The problem is fuel
contamination. We have to drain the fuel, filter it, and then everything
will be A-OK."*

*The Microsoft software engineer told the other two "No, I've seen this
problem before. We have to get back in the car, close all the windows, shut
down the car, get out, get back in, start up the car, open all the windows,
and then it will run."*
