If Microsoft would only buy Disney

Although Bill Gates says it won’t happen, here are 10 things I’d like to see if Microsoft would acquire Disney:

10. Free passes to Epcot Center for all MSDN Universal subscribers.

9. Scoble exchanges butterfly suit for Sorcerer’s Apprentice Mickey outfit.

8. Windows ships with “It’s A Small World After All” as startup wav file.

7. Office Assistants Clippy the paperclip and Kairu the dolphin replaced by Grumpy and Sneezy dwarves. [“For crying out loud, you still need help with the mail-merge?”]

6. “Tomorrowland” attraction replaced with “Longhornland”.

5. “Honey I Shrunk The Kids Movie Set Adventure” replaced by “Windows Build Lab and War Room adventure”.

4. Wrong memo sent to Magic Kingdom security guards - incoming patrons inspected for buffer overflows.

3. The namespace System.Drawing.Animations.ToyStory

2. Free theme park advocates build the amusement park “Lisney”. Patrons disappointed when they need to edit /etc/lilo.conf with vi before gaining entrance to the “Rural Bear Jamboree”.

1. .NET Rocks! on the Disney Channel.

It is our instincts to look towards cheaper prices and cheaper options during these hard times, but if anything, this just leaves even greater value to be found in the VIP and higher end. I am writing this from my plane seat, safe in the knowledge that I have been in 5 star comfort with quality food and beverages, and what’ s more, I have probably spent less money than the majority of my fellow stressed passengers.
