Microsoft today announced that it will be changing its name to "Moft"
which will clear up space on users' hard disks. It is estimated that
a typical Windows 95 installation contains about 2,842,597 iterations
of the word "Microsoft", in copyright notices, end-user licence
agreements, 'About' screens, as well as several multi-megabyte files
containing nothing else (the so-called ego.dll series), etc. So,
after the change, a user will have about 14 MBytes more disk space.
Stock prices of hard-disk manufacturers dipped slightly after the
announcement. "Well, the programs will take up less space on the
user's disk," said   Bill Gates, CEO of Moft. "But we have never
cared about that. The change will allow us to ship Windows 95 on 13
disks instead of 14, thus saving about $50 million a year in media
costs. We are also looking at shortening the names of some of our
software products; for instance 'The  Microsoft Exchange' may be
changed to 'The Moft Pit'.  Gates denied that the move was because of
problems with the alleged long filename support  in Win95 which still
uses 8.3 filenames underneath. He did admit, however, that
"MICROSO~1" did look a little ugly. Gates added that the junior
programmer who discovered the potential savings has been rewarded
with a free copy of 'Moft Off for Moft Win 95'.
