Microsoft Wrongly Gives Britain the Day Off

Posted by samzenpus on Monday May 28, 2012 @04:16AM from the should-have-slept-in dept.

Barence writes "An error in Outlook's public holidays calendar has incorrectly given Britons the day off work. Today was originally meant to be a Bank Holiday in Britain, but the holiday was postponed for a week to coincide with the Queen's diamond jubilee next week. However, Microsoft Outlook and Windows Live services are still reporting today as Britain's Spring Bank Holiday, potentially tricking Britons into believing they have the day off work."

Fuck off, and I guess its you that I can thank for the downmod - the original parent posted information and got it wrong, its not pedantic to correct woefully incorrect information, so you sir can go fuck yourself.
