I'm thinking that next they'll make toilet paper for public bathrooms with ads printed on it, that you can only tear one sheet off at a time, with a 5 seconds wait in between to force you to look at the ads...
The day they force me to watch the commercials on tv will be the day I stop watching tv. Commercials already seem to be getting longer and longer over the years, there's too much publicity as it is, we don't need more.
I was a bit creeped out by the "cult" bit, that just doesn't appeal to me at all, it sounds like there's a great amount of brainwashing going on, makes people sound like a bunch of religious fanatics. I agree, working there doesn't sound all that bad, but using their product is a whole different thing.
I'm sure he'll be reminded plenty, I feel like an idiot because I hadn't heard about this story before, I was surprised to see a story from Trois-Rivieres, Qc on here, I was born there, well in the town right next to it, went to college there and all that fun stuff and I know how people there are, I'm sure he'll be reminded of it all the time, i know how people are out there and it's not pretty. I was amazed to see how different people were when I moved to Montreal.
I have to remove my facial piercings everyday for work and I can't say that I enjoy it. (nose and lip) I think there's a whole lot more than suit and ties to this issue. There's things that should, of course, be kept out of the office, I don't think sandals are appropriate, half-buttoned shirts, dirty jeans, any type of holes in your clothes etc. However, I don't see what exactly makes a pair of dress pants and a shirt more "clean" than a nice pair of jeans and a polo shirt.
I personally dislike corporate wear, I have to bring my mother shopping with me because everytime I try on something I just want to take it off because no matter what, I hate it. The fact that I have my lip pierced (labret) doesn't make me look unprofessional, I generally wear a very small bead on it with a tiny white sparkly stone in it. I have to remove it, to sit in a cubicle all day long basically, what's the point? I really don't know.
I think that as long as you have good personal hygiene, present yourself well, wear clean & appropriate clothes (not showing cleavage the size of mt everest) there should not be a problem. Hey, i can always dream.
To me this is yet another case of "crying wolf", I mean, I've been unimpressed with most of the software released by Microsoft, they can say this one will be better, but I'm for sure not going to believe it until I see the final release. Running a free OS, you sort of expect to go through the updates process, it's a part of the deal, but when you pay for an OS like Windows, you should be able to expect more than a hastily released product, security updates, service packs etc. I mean if you were to build a car yourself, from scratch, you'd probably expect to have to fix things here and there, but if you buy a you don't expect to drive down the street and watch your wheels fall off.
I'll agree with what Spaztik was saying, Please get this one right MS.
