This sounds like a great version of "Deeper Understanding - ten years later". 
Maybe more lyric changes could be made so that the song actually sounds like
it would apply to contemporary hard- and software.

I have now received eight contributions for "Kate Bush Covered" and I'm
still hunting after more! Anyone who dares to alter the above song, or any
other Kate Bush song for that matter, please contact me. 
You only need to record your own version of a Kate Bush song to enter!
