No major company would willingly piss off this many people and customers without carefully considering how it would affect them (Not if it plans on remaining a major company).
There's an interesting 2-page ad for the U.S. Air Force running in magazines this month - page 1 is a picture of a crowd, mother carrying a baby, etc., caption reads "How do you fight an enemy who hides among the innocent?".

Oh come on yourself. Are you really unaware that Internet Explorer and Windows Media Player are not just included with the operating system, but embedded in the operating system? There's a reason you can't uninstall either of them.

I once sent round a (VAX) e-mail, as a "mail test" with a closing line "Please let me know if you don't get this". Sure enough, a few people asked me: "Wouldn't it make more sense for you to ask us to let you know if we got it...". So I could proudly reply: "See, you DIDN'T get it".

I don't get it. Why does Microsoft need a sous chef?
I spend almost 3 hours a day on commuter trains. My most hated phrase, ever, is "NO!! I HAVE PLENTY OF TIME!! I'M ON THE TRAIN!!"
Actually, this post was right after "EU Recommends Slashing Search Data Retention", so maybe it makes sense, after all.

Too right. Most people agree: Vista is half-fast.
I'm sure it comes as a surprise to former House Speaker Dennis Hastert that he's from Nebraska - since he's from Illinois.

...find it ironic that the document describing OOXML's ISO adoption is in PDF format?
I thought that's what beer was for.
