1 April 2050: Redmond-based Microsoft Corp has filed a lawsuit against Canonical for abusing its monopoly. The company says Canonical has removed Internet Explorer and WMP from its uStore.

"We want Ubuntu users to have choices and by removing our best-selling apps from its uStore, Canonical is restricting choices," said Brad Smith, a clone of Microsoft's general counsel and executive vice president, Legal and Corporate Affairs.

This is the second lawsuit against Canonical this year. In January, Apple sued Canonical for forcing OEMs to not pre-install "iOS for Ubuntu" technology which allows Ubuntu users to boot their uOS devices into Apple's iOS by connecting it to a wireless hub. “iOS for Ubuntu” allows Ubuntu users to experience the oldest and  most antique technologies being developed by Apple on their ultra-modern Ubuntu devices.

Canonical's Ubuntu today controls 98% of the PC market. 90% of the world's smart slides (merge of tablets and phones) run on uOS. Ubuntu also controls the global entertainment market as uVR (Ubuntu Virtual Reality) runs on 100% devices around the globe.

Mark Shuttleworth, the founder of Ubuntu, sent a message from Mars, "These allegations are baseless. Both Microsoft and Apple did not meet our minimum security standards and thus we were forced to remove them. Our users were under continuous attack as crackers were exploiting the security holes of IE1122. I have asked Alan Pope to work with these companies and sort this matter ASAP. "
