How they got to Windows 2000

Microsoft, as usual is in short of good software professionals, and places an ad in all the leading newspapers of the world, inviting candidates for the job of making their next operating system, Windows 2000. But the ad scares away a lot of aspirants as it states that the interview would be conducted by Bill Gates himself. Microsoft, finally, receives only three applications – from an American, Japanese and an Indian (of course you guessed it right, none other than Santa).

They are all invited to Microsoft headquarters in Seattle for the interview. Gates says, "I will ask you only one question and your answer should decide your fate". All of them looked at Gates eagerly. Gates asks, "How do we achieve Windows2000 from Windows98?" The American and Japanese are puzzled and think over it. However, Santa looked relaxed and had a smile on his face. After a while, the American answers, "Fix bugs in Windows 98 for smooth transitions." Bill shouts, "Get out of here..." The poor guy runs out. The Japanese says, "Make Windows 2000 more user friendly than Windows 98". Bill Gates screams, "Get the hell out of here..."

Gates looks at Santa. Santa giggles and says: "Rename Windows 98 Windows 2000". Gates says " Balle, balle , you got the job."
