Microsoft Corporation today announced its intent to purchase, copyright,
and upgrade God Himself. The new product would be named, predictably
enough, Microsoft God," and would be available to consumers sometime in
late 1998.
Too many people feel separated from God in today's world," said Dave
McCavaugh, director of Microsoft's new Religions Division. "Microsoft God
will make our Lord more accessible, and will add an easy, intuitive user
interface to Him, making Him not only easier to find, but easier to
communicate with." The new Microsoft Religions line will be expanded to
include a multitude of add-on products to Microsoft God, including:
- Microsoft Crusades: This conversion product will bring all worshipper
accounts and prayer files over from previous versions of God, or from
competing products like Buddha or Allah.
- Microsoft God for the World Wide Web: This product ties Microsoft God with
Microsoft Internet Information Server, making our Lord accessible from the
World Wide Web using a standard Web browser interface. It introduces
several new Web technologies, including
Dynamic Salvation and Active Prayer Pages (APP). Donations for the poor can
be donated via a Secure Alms Server.
- Microsoft Prayers: Using a Windows-based WYSIWYG interface, this product
will allow worshippers to construct effective prayers in a minimum of time.
A Secure Prayer Channel technology allows guaranteed delivery of the prayer
to Microsoft God servers, and Prayer Wizards enable users to construct new
types of prayers with a minimum learning curve. Options allow sender to be
notified when prayers are delivered and/or read. Prayers answered option
possible in future release.
- Microsoft Savior: This product will allow worshippers to transfer their
sins to its internal Vice Database. After a preset interval, the product
will erase itself from the user's system and establish a clear line of
secure communications to the user's Microsoft God server.
Additionally, Microsoft is expected to announce a line of complementary
products for the new Religions line, which will enhance the functionality
of the Microsoft God server product by providing a customized user
interface. These interfaces will be based on popular religious sects,
allowing worshippers to interact with the new God product in much the same
way as the previous version. This line is expected to include Microsoft
Christianity, Microsoft Catholicism, Microsoft Judaism (incompatible with
Microsoft Savior), etc.
