defenestration?



When looking up the word "defenestration" on dictionary.com today, I
received an unexpected surprise:

    defenestration
    n.
    An act of throwing someone or something out of a window.

    or...

    5. The act of completely removing Micro$oft Windows from a PC in
    favor of a better OS (typically Linux).

I found the fact that dictionary.com's response to this query included
the (misspelled?) word "Micro$oft" to be oddly pleasing...
