But it's pointless having an argument about it. It quickly degenerates into a slanging match, and we've seen too many of those. Microsoft is a fact of life. It's like politicians, lawyers, merchant "bankers", power companies, and all those other parasitic life forms which seem to be inevitable. :_| |

| 168046 | 2003-08-16 05:04:00 | I thought i had to add this (just make sure you at least read bottom one!) ******************* Computers are like air conditioners: they stop working properly when you open windows. ******************* There was a pilot flying a small single engine charter plane, with a couple of very important executives on board. He was coming into Seattle airport through thick fog with less than 10m visibility when his instruments went out. So he began circling around looking for landmark. After an hour or so, he starts running pretty low on fuel and the passengers are getting very nervous. Finally, a small opening in the fog appears and he sees a tall building with one guy working alone on the fifth floor. The pilot banks the plane around, rolls down the window and shouts to the guy "Hey, where am I? To this, the solitary office worker replies "You're in a plane." The pilot rolls up the window, executes a 275 degree turn and proceeds to execute a perfect blind landing on the runway of the airport 5 miles away. Just as the plane stops, so does the engine as the fuel has run out. The passengers are amazed and one asks how he did it. "Simple" replies the pilot, "I asked the guy in that building a simple question. The answer he gave me was 100 percent correct but absolutely useless, therefore that must be Microsoft's support office and from there the airport is just a while away." ******************* This one is my favourite - couldn't stop laughing when I first heard it: A young boy dreamt all his childhood life of becoming a great writer. He wanted to make his readers feel the true emotions of the writing - he wanted the whole world to read his writing, he wanted them to fall to the ground and cry, to scream in terror and pain, and to howl in anger! He now works for microsoft writing error messages! |

I don't know, I just get a little fed up with big corporations who make their money - not on the superiority of their product - but by better marketing and "built in depreciation". Furthermore, Microsoft wasn't first out with windows - Apple was. No-one arrested Mico$oft for that theft. |
