Cuculidae
I once, some five years ago, made an audit trying to find redundant files on a Win98.

Found a large sound file named The Microsoft Sound.wav a tranquilizing string of music played on
each reboot on this fantastic Pc.

What he heck, I renamed a recording of a cuckoo to said wav and I think the user of that Pc
still use it.

But then it struck me, how appropriate this was as the whole essence and substance of
almost all implemented softwidgets originating from Redmond resembles that of the
common, brood parasiting, Cuckoo, placing it's egg in other birds nest.

Who is the Richest Cuckoo on this planet !

Here comes one more egg, be glad to pay for it, while simultaneously,
resolving bugs and provide development ideas without any compensation.
