ROSWELL, N.M. (AP) -- Today, the United States Air Force issued a
long-awaited report about the "Roswell Incident" in which some
people claim that software from Microsoft functioned correctly in
Roswell, New Mexico, in 1947. As expected, the government's 261-page
report denied that there had ever been any evidence that this had
ever happened, despite eyewitness reports to the contrary. The
report claims that what witnesses actually saw was an experimental
Macintosh running a variation of Unix, or perhaps an experimental
Unix machine using a form of the MacOS. Although the official
Air Force position is that this is their final report on the matter,
long-time Microsoft devotees are not satisfied. "We know it really
happened," said Gil Bates, spokesman for a group of Microsoft
enthusiasts who call themselves "The .exe-files". The group's
claim of having seen Windows run without crashing is tainted by
the revelation earlier this year that some members had falsified
evidence by doctoring output from standard Unix utilities and
passing it off as Windows data files.
