Picard: Geordi, have you found any weakness in the Borg yet?
LaForge: Yes sir. We have created a plan to defeat them. *presses button on panel, logo appears*
Riker: What the hell is Microsoft?
Data: Allow me to explain. When we were searching for a way to defeat the Borg, our history database came across a program which might be of some use.
Picard: Go on.
Data: We plan to upload this program, for some reason called "Windows" into the Borg cube. It will then begin consuming system resources at an unstoppable rate, cutting off the Borg's main command systems, disabling them.
Picard: But the Borg have the ability to adapt. They will just increase their memory, and quarantine the program.
Data: Yes captain. But when Windows detects this, it creates a new version of itself, called an "update." Memory usage increases exponentially with each itineration. The Borg will not be able to adapt quickly enough.
Picard: Make it so.

One hour later.

Data: Captain, we have successfully installed Windows in the Borg's computers. As expected, it immediately consumed 80% of all available system resources. But the Borg have found a way to circumvent the creation of "updates."
Picard: How?
Data: They did not send in their registration cards.

The one thing that doesn't make sense is how they would wait an hour and not have the Borg frag them.

Installing it takes up too many system resources.

Good thing they didn't try OSX. Then the Borg would have run out of RAM. :)
