Yeah I know this is the Book, Movie & TVShow forum but still...

Recently one of my friends, a computer wizard, paid me a visit. As we were
talking I mentioned that I had recently installed Windows on my PC, I told
him how happy I was with this operating system and showed him the Windows
CD. Too my astonishment and distress he threw it into my micro-wave oven
and turned it on. I was upset because the CD had become precious to me,
but he said: 'Do not worry, it is unharmed.' After a few minutes he took
the CD out, gave it to me and said: 'Take a close look at it.' To my
surprise the CD was quite cold and it seemed to have become thicker and
heavier than before. At first I could not see anything, but on the inner
edge of the central hole I saw a inscription, in lines finer than anything
I have ever seen before. The inscription shone piercingly bright, and yet
remote, as if out of a great depth:

4F6E65204F5320746F2072756C65207468656D20616C6C2C20 4F6E65204F5320746F
2066696E64207468656D2C0D0A4F6E65204F5320746F206272 696E67207468656D20
616C6C20616E6420696E20746865206461726B6E6573732062 696E64207468656D


'I cannot read the fiery letters,' I said.
'No,' he said, 'but I can. The letters are Hex, of an ancient mode, but
the language is that of Microsoft, which I shall not utter here. But in
common English this is what it says:'

One OS to rule them all, One OS to find them,
One OS to bring them all and in the darkness bind them.

That's terrible!
We have to throw the cd back into the flames in which it was forged!

Very odd, but in the spirit of the film, does he have a beard?
