Microsoft may Sanction the 'Switcher' PR-Rep

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.

  2. How Apple handled similar in their ranks by amichalo · · Score: -1, Troll

    When Will Ferrell of Saturday Night Live fame made his switch ad, he midrepresented himself as a porn actor.

    Apple's response was to get Lorne Michaels to cast him as Professor Klarvin (Lov'ah to Virginia).

    See how easy it cleans up

    Sorry for going off, but the 3 years my wife worked at MS were some really difficult times and we love it now that she's free. It really is a horrible place to work, it's really fucked up.


    Why was your wife fired? Is it because she was too stupid? Or was she one of those perma-contractors who just didn't have the smarts to qualify for a full-time job? Microsoft doesn't need low-life incompetents like you and your wife who can't take the pressure.

    As I said you buy a mac and your company will die. If you look in the pictures of the Rosie offices they are full of macs. In this case the political battle was between the mac heads and the bean counters.
