Ebonics Version of Windows Microsoft has announced the release of a special Ebonics version of Windows 98, titled "IT BE A FRESH WINDOW." There are numerous differences between standard Windows 98 and the Ebonics version. For example, when opening the Ebonics version, the familiar windows chime is replaced with a "phat getto track that melts 'em down wit dope-ass bass." The opening screen features a Windows logo that is spray painted on a brick wall along with several gangsta signs, slogans, and "shout outs". On the main screen, My Computer is replaced with "Dis My Sh*$." The Recycle Bin has been replaced with a Goodwill dumpster. If users are logged on to a network, the Network Neighborhood is replaced with "Da Hood." Users have their choice of two animated screen savers "Marquee," a lil' G spray painting dirty words that move across the screen; or "Flying Bullets," a '64 Olds' loaded with gangstas doing a desktop drive by. Users of the Ebonics version will notice several command and dialogue box changes: 1. Break Back In = Re-entry 2. Aww Sh*$, = Error 3. Itz All Good = OK 4. 4 Real Doe =Yes 5. Hold Up, Dawg = Cancel 6. Do Dat Sh*$ Again = Reset 7. R U Crazy = Are You Sure 8. Hunt Dat Bitch Down = Find 9. Put A Cap In It = Delete 10. Games Sh*$ = Programs 11. Letter Sh&$ = Documents The Ebonics version comes standard with a special edition of Microsoft Works titled "Homie Essentials." The word processing Program greatly differs from the main-stream program. Several words on the title bar have been changed: 1. Dat Thang = File 2. I Be Seein' It = View 3. Put Sumpin In = Insert 4. Hook It Up = Format 5. Stuff I Ain't gone Need =Tools 6. Number Sh*% = Table 7. Break In = Window 8. What Da Fu*%??? = Help Note: "Stuff I ain't gone need" (Tools) does not include spelling or grammar check options, cuz they won't get used anyway. And Auto Correct has been replaced with "Keepin' it Real".
