I beg to differ. The intention was to appeal to a *nix-oriented audience
without offending the Windows audience. You see, it is /Winbies/ that will
not understand the message.

A typical Windows user does not recognise Ballmer and does not know about FUD
or the symbolic meaning of the penguin. I was going to give $teve that
Terminator's red eye, but thought it might give a few Windows visitors the
dangerous clue, thus driving them away.
