ok, so I'm sure that someone else has noticed this before, but I have never seen it mentioned anywhere, so I thought I'd throw it out there. While watching a downloaded version of Tron the other day, I couldn't help noticing the following.

Tron: "evil" computer program called MCP (Master Control Program) that has a mind of its own, with needs and desires not necessarily in harmony with its user.

Microsoft: Windows

Tron: "evil" boss at huge corporation that created MCP

Microsoft: Bill Gates

I'm sure there is more, though that's all that springs to mind at the moment. Was Tron a glimpse at the future?
