Death by code release

["Rob, grandpa of Ryan, Trevor, Devon & Hannah" <rMslade () shaw ca>]

I loved the BBC "cutline" on this story:

 * Windows 7 now 'available to all' *
Microsoft has announced the latest Windows release will not be limited, after
the initial launch crashed the whole of the Microsoft site. 

So, Microsoft has decided to release, to the whole world, a product that crashed 
their systems?

Well, not quite:

Looked up the Biblical description of the Beast, who wears [666]
...says he has two horns, like a sheep, can call down fire from
out of the sky, and that people would worship him because of this
ability ... I *knew* there was something creepy about Pikachu...
