Microsoft may Sanction the 'Switcher' PR-Rep

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the look-its-funny dept.

Nerull sent in a snippit from The Age saying "Microsoft may consider sanctions against a public relations consultant who tried to pass herself off as someone who had switched from the Apple Mac to Windows XP in a high-profile US advertising campaign, chief executive Steve Ballmer said today." Here is Monday's Slashdot Story that this follows up to. Lots of amusing little quotes about what it means to be trustworthy.

    "If that's right, I will certainly castigate the offender."

    Hm, for a minute there I thought he most definately meant to say castrate. Then I remembered that he wasn't Cmdr. Taco and the probability of spelling skill went through the roof. But wouldn't he have been disappointed to find out that the person he was going to castrate was a woman?

    That surely would present a problem.

    Didn't you know, switching from a Mac to Xp is a license to kill.
