And Mr. Data, have you been   able to access their command pathways?" Data : "Yes, Captain. In fact, we found the answer by searching  through our archives on late Twentieth-century computing   technology." LaForge shows Picard the computing history from the archives in a monitor, and pauses the presentation at the Microsoft logo. LaForge : "As you can see, captain, the answer lies in Microsoft". Captain : "What the hell is 'Microsoft'?" Data : "Allow me to explain. We will send this   program, for some reason called 'Windows', through the Borg   command pathways.
