There was a 3 page eMail I received about a year ago which rumor had it
originatted from Micro$oft where the Enterprise first encountered the
Borg.
Their first defense was to infect the Borg computer system with Win95. 
Just keeping up with the fixes stalled them for a while.  The next plan
of defense was to upload the game pack to the Borg system.  That stalled
them for a little longer.
Just about the time when the Borg were recovering, Admiral Gates in the
star ship Monopoly showed up with a league of warriors in pin striped
suits declaring reports of unregistered use of software in this sector,
the Borg were smothered in legal paper work and the Enterprise turned
off their viewers, in disgust, stating that even the Borg didn't deserve
that!
