"...at M$, we really, really care..."

All your problems will be solved once you buy our next latest and greatest service pack, er...Longhorn, um...anti-virus software...and, oh, yes, for a limited time, spy-ware install - opps, I'm meant spy-ware remover! Just open your wallet, or send us your handy-dandy credit card number, and we'll take you for every penny you have..., oh, I mean, we'll take care of you

As if

I remember when MSFT was hyping this loser and the presenter said something about users storing their credit cards on MSFT's servers. HAHAHAHA! Right. Like anyone is going to trust MSFT with their credit card numbers. That's almost as smart as storing a unencrypted credit card number on a Windoze box. And of course this droid was prattling on about how MSFT listened to what their customers wanted during the design. HAHAHA!

I always wonder who those mystery customers are that they listen to? Because they sure are a bunch of twit wits. I've never met anyone in the business who's admitted to being one of the people MSFT listens to and I've represented some pretty big customers.

WIll the customer that MSFT listens to please raise your hand so we can kick the crap out of you. Thank you.
