It was something a friend read me out of a computer magazine, I think.
They upload the software, but the Borg adapt, creating more onboard memory to 
replace that eaten by Windows.
In the end, just as they're about to destroy the Enterprise, they're pounded 
by a shipload of lawyers for using Windows without sending off the 
registration card.
Being serious for a moment, the Enterprise has a completely new operating 
system, the likes of which we've never seen before. I mean, that level of 
voice input on a Gates product? No way.
(The script team on ST:TNG invented a new, untranslatable, measure of 
computer ability just so that people twenty years from now wouldn't laugh at 
how puny the Enterprise's computers were.)
