The Microsoft spoofers, who work for Palladium Interactive software, didn't let the feel-good fest rain on their parade. They said their tiny Larkspur, Calif. company drew lots of interest in their parody of Microsoft's upcoming Windows 98 operating program, which goes by a name that can't be mentioned here because of its sexual connotations. The program includes games such as Billagotchi, an on-screen "cyber pet" that people need to feed money and tend to his needs or else he throws a tantrum. For example, the parody includes an icon for "MS Exploiter" that links to a Palladium Web site. And in a skit based on Star Trek, cartoon characters from the Star Ship Explorer blow up the SS Netscape. "The party line is if you don't have a booth, you can't hand out literature," said Rebecca Murphy, director of product marketing for the firm. "We're just trying to have some fun."
