It's still Microsoft's fault
Anything goes wrong on any computer, anywhere, anytime, is Microsoft's fault. Even if it isn't Microsoft's software. Even if it isn't a Microsoft operating system. Even if there isn't actually a computer involved at all. Microsoft is responsible for anything and everything that does not work correctly. The problems with the Mars Spirit rover are Microsoft's fault. If you purchase frozen concentrated orange juice and the cash register scanner charges the wrong price, that's Microsoft's fault. If you buy pants and they turn out to be the wrong size, that's Microsoft's fault. The adoption of the designated hitter in the American League is Microsoft's fault. The Watergate burglary was Microsoft's fault. The failure of Pickett's charge at Gettysburg was Microsoft's fault. The failure of the unicorns to board Noah's Ark was Microsoft's fault.




Message created using ScanSoft Dragon NaturallySpeaking? Professional 7.3 and/or ParaGraph PenOffice? 2.5 CalliGrapher? handwriting recognition software. Please excuse any unintentional errors. I never make errors, so any you find are obviously the fault of Dragon or CalliGrapher?. But not me. Really. Trust me?I wouldn't lie to you as far as you know.
