Nice try.
The only thing that didn't work with the Zune software was that the installer had a version check that was wrong, if I remember correctly.
Goes in line with their whole Wow-Starts-Now competition. Now they're hoping that happy, naive parents will send in pictures of their adorable kids...
In a few weeks they'll come knocking on their door demanding their first-born. Parents asking "why?" will just get a blank look: "Didn't you read the EULA?"
MS Windows only version of IE, there are significant web pages that will not work Name one significant page?
Windows Update doesn't count even though that might be the single most visited site in the world, but somehow I doubt Microsoft likes to brag about that.
Well, if they are indeed doing business this way you can drag through all kinds of hell. See, when you sign up to be a.com/.net/.org registrar you sign a contract (with ICANN? don't recall) saying that you will not do any domain/cyber-squatting (the reasons why they don't want you to do this are obvious, I would think)
The "Google it" approach would probably have yielded results as good or better as most of the Q&A sites if the search terms had been entered correctly. Without someone having asked the question in public, there wouldn't be anything "to Google". This is logical, but it seems like a lot of people forget it.
Wow! Awesome! Thanks for that helpful nugget of advice there, chief! That kind of knee-jerk bullshit response is about as annoying as the zealots on certain tech boards who answer every question about a Windows problem with "INSTALL LINUX, PROBLEM SOLVED." Basically it means "I have nothing helpful to contribute, but I just thought I'd act like a douchebag anyway."
Ah, maybe that one doesn't fetch a new time quickly enough now that I think of it. But hell, running around in the middle of the night setting the time manually on the workstations doesn't really sound like a viable thing to do anyway.
Then again, I never was a sysadmin -- but I heard the horror stories. You lucky bunch!
I dunno, in the TFA there was a long rant about the daylight saving... Doesn't W2K come installed with a client for setting time (RFC 868 or whatever)? I could have sworn it did... And wouldn't this kind of solve the problem pretty easily?
Wow. You sure have some balls coming onto Slashdot and posting in a topic like this where the fanboys can't choose a side as to which is more evil.
One thing is for sure, DOJ is looking to be the most evil right now! Verdict next year!
I must also add that you look like a goddamn ambulance chaser with your blatant advertising of how people might have claims on either of these companies if they just contact you. I saw three posts by you in this topic, and I'm sure there's more.

...combine with this and they might have a hit.
It could have been funny if the editor had not already made the joke in the 'dept' line.
But, to answer your question. Am I happy to see you? I don't know, are those a pair of boobs on your chest?

Oh come on, that half the western world's been waiting for Vista.
And half of those were waiting for a chance to say Vista sucks.
It wouldn't matter -what- Microsoft did.

So did someone else think, seeing as they went and registered craplets.com after seeing this article :)

Hell, these days most toys are fooken deadly due to the bloody wrapping they come in.
Well, the more stupid patents we get in there, the faster the system will change, hopefully.
Idiocy.
I vaguely recall having to put an IE logo on your [company] website if you wanted to distribute physical media with their bloody web-browser on it.
ATSC makes sense.
