This amounts to an offence under the Trades Description Act- I wanted to read about Gates being attached by a nail-gun to a flag-pole on the twee place in Redmond.

What I got was an obscure reference to a dancing monkey and some apparent company in a country near to Tartary.

You WILL take this operating system, no matter how much you say you prefer XP.

Microsoft can't even allow Microsoft to compete on an even playing field with Microsoft. How soon before the XP department calls in the DoJ to investigate the Vista department?

I vote we get someone to make an anonymous phone call to the TSA and DHS and tell them that Ballmer is actually a drug mule...

For some reason, I read the headline as:

"Founder nails balls to Windows mast"

and then expected a story about Bill G going on a bit of a bender.

Taxi!

It's actually the Trade Descriptions Act. Please fucking note where the 's's are.

Let's hope so... The bumbling idiot is half the problem with Microsoft these days. They'd do well to send him to China permanently.

Great idea. They've got nuclear weapons, itchy trigger fingers, paranoia and absofuckinglutely no sense of humour. How can this go wrong?

The idea appeals hugely.

There is something riveting about stacking up all the ingredients of a complete disaster and lighting blue touch paper.
