XP and 2001 movie: HAL correlation

I have a theory that XP really is evil. Never watched it, but Kubrick's 2001 movie has the evil computer HAL. XP, like 2k, and NT, has the Hardware Abstraction Layer, or HAL. XP is released in the year 2001 with HAL.

but, doesn't 2000 have a HAL as well?
 
 
Oh well.
 
 
HAL +1 = IBM, just like MS +1 = NT

Any of us who have already Evil Inside (bip bip-bip bip)I bet we are in bad shape.
My theory is that the bip-bip sound logo is a coded message intended for HAL to activate some hidden and dreadful functions.
I am not paranoid, I am just wondering why my webcam is looking at me that way...
