Microsoft Addresses Justice Department Accusations

REDMOND, Wash. – Oct. 23, 1997 – In direct response to accusations made by the Department of Justice, the Microsoft Corp. announced today that it will be acquiring the federal government of the United States of America for an undisclosed sum.

“It’s actually a logical extension of our planned growth”, said Microsoft chairman Bill Gates, “It really is going to be a positive arrangement for everyone”.

Microsoft representatives held a briefing in the oval office of the White House with U. S. President Bill Clinton, and assured members of the press that changes will be “minimal”. The United States will be managed as a wholly owned division of Microsoft. An initial public offering is planned for July of next year, and the federal government is expected to be profitable by “Q4 1999 at latest”, according to Microsoft president Steve Ballmer.

In a related announcement, Bill Clinton stated that he had “willingly

and enthusiastically” accepted a position as a vice president with Microsoft, and will continue to manage the United States government, reporting directly to Bill Gates. When asked how it felt to give up the mantle of executive authority to Gates, Clinton smiled and referred to it as “a relief”. He went on to say that Gates has a “proven track record”, and that U. S. citizens should offer Gates their “full support and confidence”. Clinton will reportedly be earning several times the $200,000 annually he has earned as U. S. president, in his new role at Microsoft.

Gates dismissed a suggestion that the U. S. Capitol be moved to Redmond as “silly”, though did say that he would make executive decisions for the U. S. government from his existing office at Microsoft headquarters. Gates went on to say that the House and Senate would “of course” be abolished. “Microsoft isn’t a democracy”, he observed, “and look how well we’re doing”. In addition, Gates said, all state and local branch governments will have to renew their licensing agreements with the new Microsoft Federal Government in order to keep current liberty rights intact. “It’s not anti-competitive, only acting

as any capitalist soverign would toward lesser competitors.”

When asked if the rumored attendant acquisition of Canada was proceeding, Gates said, “We don’t deny that discussions are taking place”.

Microsoft representatives closed the conference by stating that United States citizens will be able to expect lower taxes, increases in government services and discounts on all Microsoft products.
