HOW OPERATING SYSTEMS ARE LIKE KNIGHTS
In the realm of the Mighty King Gates who has pulled the sword from the stone and slaughtered everyone with it, comes the knights of the MS  Table:   

Sir DOS:  Plain  complexion and no armor. Rides very  stably on his mare. He very rarely falls, but knows only the most basic combat tactics and is very difficult to talk to, since he speaks and understands no more than eight-letter words. King Gates plots to murder him.   

Sir Windows 1.0:  Sir DOS's twin brother with a bad toupee. He falls off his horse quite frequently and knows no more  than Sir DOS. Just as difficult to communicate  with due to his obsession with eight-letter words. He was killed in his first battle. King Gates pretends this one never existed.   

Sir Windows 3.x:  Sir Windows 1.0's best friend. He is a wee bit  more stable on his horse than Sir Windows 1.0, yet  not as good as Sir DOS. He's got some really neat  designs on his shield but still does not know much  more than Sir DOS. Sir Windows 3.x has yet to overcome his devotion to eight-letter words. King Gates is always asking, 'Why can't you be more like that nice Sir Windows95?'   

Sir Windows95:  Sir Windows 3.x's Brother. He's got the same designs on his shield, but his armor is very shiny. Knows advanced combat skills, but never  really puts them to use. Not confined to eight-  letter words anymore, but it depends who he's talking to. Claims to be able to converse with many people at once, but if he tries to coverse with too many, he'll fall right off his horse and land on top of somebody. King Gates is  proud of this one.   

Sir Windows NT:  Sir Windows95's tough-guy uncle. He's got duller  designs on his shield, but the same shiny armor.  His armor is virtually impenetrable, but a pain to  get into and impossible to get out of -- all he can  do is add more layers. Falls off his horse every  once in a while, and everyone else goes right with him. Can converse with many people at once without  falling off. He knows advanced combat skills and uses them when necessary. Has the same problems with eight-letter words as Sir Windows95. This is King Gates' favorite thing to show off.    Now we leave the realm of the Mighty King Gates and find the wandering swordsman of the land:

Sir UNIX:  Does not do battle and wears only chain mail. He finds all the information he can and his only goal is to distribute it to others who ask. Knows games  and will play them, but likes work better. King Gates has sent Sir Windows NT out to kill and  mutilate this knight.   

Sir MAC OS:  Started the fad of the shiny armor and claims the  knights of the realm of King Gates stole his  ideas. Lately his popularity has declined. And recently he has made an alliance with King Gates.  He does not know any useful battle skills and will  tell you only what he thinks you should know. The good thing about him is that he has no problem with long words.   

Sir OS/2:  Spied on Sir Windows 3.x and Sir Windows95 and copied them. He was popular for a time, but now many refuse to acknowledge his exsitstence.  There is a rumor that he has a son named Warp.   

King Gates reigns high over all that is his and destroys or consumes all that is not. And these are the OS Knights.
