    You know, considering the fact that Slashdot doesn't appear to have a dedicated Microsoft section, I find it rather amusing that any potentially negative Microsoft news gets posted.

    We use only the finest monthly patches, dew picked and flow from Redmond, cleansed in the finest quality review process, lightly killed, and sealed in a succulent, Swiss, quintuple-smooth, treble-milk chocolate update, and lovingly frosted with reboots.
