Great Depression II

An increasingly popular term for a global economic crisis generally blamed on corporate corruption based in the U.S., especially under President George W. Bush, though its full impact will occur after Bush's departure from public office. As of January 2009, it isn't certain whether the crisis will equal or even surpass the original Great Depression in severity, though comparing the two events is akin to comparing apples and oranges.
The global economic crisis that many are referring to as Great Depression II has been variously blamed on corporate corruption, globalization, capitalism, George W. Bush and greed and stupidity, all of which are coincidentally associated with Bill Gates, whose public relations team ironically promotes as a philanthropist.

Beast of Redmond

One of many nicknames for Microsoft, though it can also be applied to the corporation's ethically challenged founder, Bill Gates.
Like George W. Bush, the Beast of Redmond will probably fail in its bid for world domination, if Vista is any clue.

Microslug

One of many nicknames for Microsoft, this one hinting at the bureaucratic inertia and bloated code it has become famous for; generally synonymous with Microsloth.
Will Microslug release another Windows upgrade in our lifetime, or is Vista the end of the Road Ahead?
