Erotica Found Within Microsoft Office Install

ThinSkin writes "Leave it to the Swedes to discover erotica stored within an earlier version of Microsoft's Office XP suite. According to the security group, a default installation of Word and PowerPoint contain a love letter from "Bill" and a photo of Alyssa Milano as one of the templates. Microsoft discovered this problem a while ago and included a patch within Service Pack 2. Microsoft has done a pretty good job keeping this under wraps and has refused to comment on the matter."

      The only thing that annoys me every April Fool's are all the retards that visit /. knowing it will piss them off, getting pissed off (as they expected), and making sure the whole world knows they're pissed off by going to the extra trouble of clicking the stupid link and posting.

      Well, we get it. You're pissed off. Now please piss off.
