Win-opoly

You know the "Monopoly" craze that's sweeping the nation? The multiple versions of the game have exploded in the past few years with so many different "opoly" games. There's "Cat-opoly", "Dog-opoly", "Brew-opoly", "Lethbridge-opoly", "Simpsons Monopoly", "Coke-opoly", "John Deere Monopoly", "Horse-opoly", "Anti-opoly", and "Bible-opoly" to name a few.

So we decided there should be a version for the computer geeks out there, We propose "Win-opoly", a few features of this proposal are as follows:
- The game pieces would be the windows icon, a computer, a mouse, a monitor, the initials B.G, a laptop & a modem- The houses and hotels could be .mp3 and .avi files- Instead of passing "Go" and collecting money you have to pass "Start" and pay in $200 for a Service Pack upgrade. If you pass "Start" more than 10 times you have to upgrade the whole game to "Win-Opoly XP" to continue gameplay
- Instead of "going to jail" you "consider purchasing a Mac" and go "directly to user-hell"
- When you roll snake eyes and look up the instructions it says "You have attempted to perform an illegal operation, please cease gameplay for 20 minutes and upon returning reset gameplay"
- "free parking" becomes "Bill Gates salary for a day"
- Some of the space combinations to get a Monopoly would be as follows: Word/Excel/Powerpoint, Photoshop/Acrobat/Writer, MSN/ICQ/AIM, Spybot/Ad-Aware/Net Nanny, Napster/Kazaa/Sharezaa, Media Player/Winamp/iTunes, QuickTime/Real Player/Shockwave, Hotmail/Yahoo/GMail, MS Trips/Atlas/Mapmaker, Outlook Express/Netscape Communicator/AOL mail, Zoomtext/Windows Eyes/Jaws, Minesweeper/Solitaire/Freecell, Cookies/Files/Internet History, Pinball/Russian Squares/Hearts
- Of course there a few suggestions for the coveted "Boardwalk/Park Place" duo. These include: My Computer/Recycle Bin, Network Neighbourhood/My Documents, Start/Shut Down, Control Panel/Settings, Pentium/Celeron, Sims/Sims 2, Win 3.0/DOS, Nero/Roxio
- The "utilities" would be Norton & McAfee or Windows Firewall & Windows Pop-up blocker
- The "railroads" could be different less-than-XP versions: 95/98/ME/2000 or FireFox/Mozilla/IE/Netscape
- Some of the Chance cards and community chest cards would read as follows: "Hack Microsoft, go back 3 spaces", "Make a better screensaver than Flying Through Space collect $100", "Blue screen of death, pay $200", "Go directly to user hell", "administrator password lost, lose a turn", "Driver Error in your favor collect $20", "You won the programming competition collect $10", "Kiss Bill Gates' Ass, collect $50", "SP2 disabled all your illegal MP3's, pay $50 per .mp3 and $100 per .avi", "Neglected to run virus scan, you have been infected, lose a turn", "Neglected to de-frag lose $100"

Then of course after that craze caught on we could come out with "Win-opoly XP" the essential upgrade and "Mac-opoly" which would be a more compact version with fewer instructions and easier gameplay. LOL
