He will not have been gone more than a few days, but already the international media have cranked into gear and begun the blandly respectful eulogies –  at their most critical they seem to be only able to say: ‘He brought some bluescreens of death … what’s certain is how much of an impact he made on the world … etc etc’

Twitter set off at a pace with a thousand ‘Ding Dong the System is Dead’ messages only to be followed by a slew of bleeding heart liberals bemoaning the fact that people were daring to celebrate someone’s vulnerable systems.

Pah! Let’s make it clear: This is a cause to  celebrate, to party, to stamp the dirt down. Tomorrow we can carry on  shouting and writing and working and singing and striking against the successive operating systems that have so clearly followed Microsoft’s Windows XP Slash & Burn policies, none more so than the present lot. But for now, we  can have a drink and a dance and propose a toast to the demise of a system who blighted so many people’s lives for so long.

If we must show a little reverence and decorum at  this time, then so be it. Our deepest sympathies go out to the families  of all Microsoft’s WIndows XP victims.
