Microsoft To Try Works As Adware
Several readers noted that Microsoft has announced plans to pre-install an ad-laden version of Works on some manufacturers' PCs in coming months. Works is Microsoft's lightweight docs-and-spreadsheets software. The manufacturers involved were not disclosed. The adware Works will come with a pre-installed cache of ads that will be refreshed when the machine is online. Microsoft will decide by mid-2008 whether it can afford to forgo the $40 normally charged for Works.
Excellent. Now how do we purchase adspace for Open Office and KOffice in this wonderful program?
"a lot of Girls who wrote their paper in works needed it converted to a Doc or even .TXT format went to us geeks."
Yeah, I've got a life size picture of that:
Girl: "Can you convert my files for me? I have to go fool around with my boyfriend."
Geek: "Sure!"
If moderation could change anything, it would be illegal.
...and I then delete it because it's a WORTHLESS piece of shit.

Hey! That's my sig you're smoking there!
Well, if a girl won't cheat on a guy with me, he must be hotter than me, and I gotta say, that's pretty damn hot.
