I take it the Queen is running Win98SE & wishes for a discount to upgrade to XP. WHy else would she agree to that ?
Maybe she believes she won't get the "Enlarge your crown by 4 inches !!!" Emails by 2006 like Billy promised.

Did anyone of you bother to read the story?
He's becoming a KBE (Knight of the British Empire) due to his involvement with the poor in the BE.. You can read it all here... Had he gotten it due to MS influence, I think there would have been more protest... |
