You have two cows/20

This article is part of the You have two cows series.

Free software: You have two genetically engineered cows, that you got for free. You further modify the genes of the cows. Your cows' milk becomes the fountain of youth. You publish plans for the cows so that anyone with enough dedication can make similar cows. Everyone takes your formula and sells it. You cause hundreds of companies to come into existence, and none of them ever pay you a dime. That's okay, though—you have "become truly free".

GPL: You have two genetically engineered cows, given to you freely. In fact, the cows' milk cannot be used for any proprietary purpose, but feel free to sell it as long as the buyer can do whatever they wants with it. No, wait. We can't add a nice strawberry taste to the milk because then proprietary farmers might use it, not to mention that strawberry milk would taste terrible. In fact, we can't add any new gene features to the cows, because that would make it more attractive to proprietary farms. Our cows are better though, we were ahead once and we're still ahead, if for no other reason than we say so.

Proprietary: Our cows grow your business. So what, they may be a bit sick, have a disease or two. Get the facts! They outperform any other cows in milk production 300%! In fact, we want to keep getting you to buy our cows, so we will listen to our customers, have them fill out surveys, and write ad campaigns targeted towards their responses, whether it's really "More stable and secure!" or not. Top error reporter each month gets a free trip to Cancun. Updates to the cows' genetic code are released every third Tuesday, provided that the date is a prime number and the temperature in Nairobi is the square root of eleventeen. Have you activated your copy yet?

Microsoft: You have two cows, but you don't own them. They are sick and you spend more on keeping them healthy than you make with them. You are unaware that alternatives exist, and their milk is addictive.

Microsoft Windows: You have two cows and a stupid dog in the corner telling you where to find your damned files. One of your cows has caused a general protection fault and now neither of them will ever produce milk again, even if you kill them and replace them with two brand new cows. The dog never dies.

Microsoft Windows 2: Error:404. Two cows not found. There could be a number of reasons for this to happen. You most likely meant One cow, because Bill Gates has Two cows, not you.

Attempt to "borrow" a cow from your friend, only to have this particular screen to pop up stating that you cannot have Two cows at once.
Switch to Macintosh so that you may have as many as Ω cows, but you can't do that.

Microsoft Windows 3: You have two cows that came with the farm you just bought. They work very well, but you notice your neighbors, who have Mac cows and Linux goats, are making fun of your cows for some reason. After about a week, one of the cows is acting sluggish and unresponsive. You call in a virus detector who says it is infected with the Mad.Cow.Disease trojan. Before you are able to asses the problem, it turns blue and faints. It revives and works normally after you give it medicine, but the other cow has became infected and has destroyed all of your farm equipment in a terrifying rampage. You follow a work-around you found online, however you start seeing more billboards are showing up around your farm. The first cow breaks one of its legs and is now unable to perform the most basic of functions. You burn down your farm in frustration.

Microsoft Longhorn Windows: You never had two cows. You were told five years ago that you were going to get two longhorn cows, and they showed up on your doorstep, but then they evaporated into Vaporware and you had to clean the sticky mess left behind off your doorstep. You were told two years ago that the cows might come back the very next day but this time the cows would have longer horns. Then you were told that these were magic cows that you could plant in your garden and turn your computer into a giant search engine to find all your files. This is because you suck at finding files. A year ago you were told that not only were you able to search all the files on your computer, but everyone else was as well. This is good news if you thought you were going to do anything depraved and sickening to your cows, but bad news if you want to buy other cows with your credit cards.

Microsoft Windows 7

You have two cows. They are both very helpful in your journeys and are glad to service you. They are reliable, hardworking, but currently close to death. They have a counterpart that is the exact opposite of them, called Vista, but this version is the opposite. It is called Vista because they mainly spend their time in the vista outside your house, slowly eating your entire yard until you become jealous of your neighbors for having a decent lawn.

Microsoft Genuine (Dis)advantage: You have two cows. Microsoft shows up at your farm and takes them, telling you that you have not activated your two copies of Microsoft Cow. You complain to Microsoft but the Microsoft building caught fire. You sell your farm and move to the South Pole.

Windows Server: You had two cows. They did all the usual things that cows do. Now, they are unable to disconnect themselves from the milking machine, and even their very thoughts and actions are controlled by it. If the milking-machine stops, the cows just stand there and look nonplussed.

Small Business Server: As for Windows Server, except that your two cows now have to double as bull, buffalo, bison, reindeer, camel, llama and yak at the same time as performing their bovine duties. Understandably they get very confused.

Norton Anti-Virus: You have two cows. You're having a nice time milking them, and it's all going smoothly. But then a strange figure appears. Your Norton "Anti-Virus" alerts you by saying, "HOLY SHIT! SOME DUDE WANTS TO STEAL YOUR MILK AND CORRUPT YOUR COWS! I'LL GET RID OF HIM!" You wait, but Norton just stands there doing nothing. You ask him what to do, and he says, "DELETE THE GUY BEFORE IT BLOWS UP YOUR COWS!" but gives you no instruction on how to delete him. You tell him to shut up and go away but he doesn't. Turns out the strange figure was just the milkman.

Sun: An arrogant (well, not as arrogant as the GNU...) pig dressed up to look like a cow. In order to perform up to specifications, the pig...err cow, demands massively parallel pastures in which to graze. If given what it demands, it will run the Oracle very well. Most dislike this cow for its arrogance, especially the GNU. But the Sun does not care; it functions on a different level of existence. It speaks many strange languages, such as SVR4, BSD, POSIX, and DTrace. It's main concerns are scalability, flexibility and observability, which is in contrast to the Linux, which is fixated on speed.

Linux: You have a million rabbits. They run a lot faster than cows, but aren't as friendly. You can't even give them away. In order to use them, you must RTFM. Similar to GNU. These rabbits are totally convinced that they have surpassed all other cows, of course the Linux are young and mostly unfamiliar with the wisdom of the older breeds, such as the OpenVMS, the Sun, and the AIX. The Linux are flexible and very fast, but they still have much to learn.

Linux 2: You have one cow for free. You begin by milking the cow by hand, but soon tire of the effort. Unfortunately the cow's udders are incompatible with your milking mechanism that you have. You send off for a the free adapter, and someone promises to make you one. You wait a week for it, but it doesn't come. In the meantime you try to alter the cow so that your milker will work with it. To your misfortune this causes the cow to produce milk every other day. The adapter finally comes, but you find that using it causes the cow not to eat. Tired of messing with this cow, you try and give it away, hoping someone else will fix the problems for you. In the meantime you get a different cow, one thats smaller, and faster. However this cow only has one udder, which is still incompatible with your milking machine. You are stuck with two cows that won't talk to each other and won't eat the same food.

Gentoo Linux: You have a braindead cow called Larry. You work on it for a week. Now it has a cyborg brain and laser beams.

Gentoo Linux 2: You have two stripped-down cows that consist only of basic parts necessary to keep a cow alive. You spend hours optimizing your COWFLAGS, and then compile organs, skin, udders, etc, by yourself.

Debian Linux: You ask for two cows, but are given two mastodons. You are told that such recent innovations as bovines are still being tested for stability, but that you can install them from the 'bleeding edge' repository if you are the risktaking kind.

Knoppix: You have two cows that don't even need a field to live in. You can milk them anywhere that happens to have a machine.

Novell (SuSe) Linux: You can have your two cows for free, but if it makes you feel guilty that you got them for nothing, you can alternatively pay a King's Ransom for them.

Arch Linux: You have two stripped-down cows that consist only of basic parts necessary to keep a cow alive. You configure said parts yourself and add other parts to make the cows into whatever you want.

Mac: You buy two cows which supposedly die a lot less than normal cows, and that have a neat white gloss on them. However, they die in a shorter period of time than normal cows, but don't turn blue when they do, so you don't realize they are dead (you just think that they are being a bit slow).

Mac 2: YOu have two cowwwwwwwww-*reboot* You have two cowwwwwwww...

Honor System Virus: You have two cows. Please send this virus as an attachment to everyone in your address book and delete all the files on your hard drive.

Apple 2: You have two cows, neither of which will fit on your iPod mini. You kill one by hurling your Pod at it out of anger and frustration.

Apple 3: You have two cows, one of which is a status symbol, while the other is too expensive

for most people and is said to be worse.

Windows Vista (2): You have two cows. Is this OK? The cow moos. Is this OK?

Quantum Physics: You have two really tiny cows. They exist as both cow particles and cow waves. You can't really measure them because attempting to measure them will make them collapse into a penguin. Your two cows are intricated : whenever one of your cows is milked, the other is milked too, and your two cows lose their phase and only their amplitude remains. You decide to forget about them and buy two chickens instead. You're much better off.

Biology: You have two organisms that produce milk, and have four stomachs. They cannot reproduce because you have no males of the species. They will soon die of natural causes, a microbe infecting them, or damage to vital organs.

You have two cows. You can raise them very easily but in a very limited number of ways. They are good at producing small amounts of milk, they start to slow down once you start demanding more. These cows are good for hobbyists but don't try to make a living off of them.
