That's the most perfect description of a superlative I've ever seen.

And my addendum is the worstest joke on the subject, ever.
It wasn't enough to steal Windows from Xerox. Now they have to go and steal ideas from *nix. Hasn't that been standard in *nix environments for awhile?
Does this mean that when purchasing a Windows liscense users will now have to decide whether or not the need a liscence and a half? Or just the single.
Oh I'll have the single please. And crack it later
What will this do to Grandma and Grandpa computer user? Imagine your grandparents out getting their first PC.
The technobable alone is staggering. I know what you are thinking, "not me I'm the uber geek".
Well think back to your first box, how much did you know? Chances are older consumers purchasing new systems, some for the first time, may be frightened off or taken advantage of.
Microsoft needs to stop. How much money is enough?
I have an idea for Microsofts new business model. Do one thing. Do it well. You guys already have the world by the short n curlies.
Besides when the rest of the world realizes that there are Linux distros out there for less than half the cost of a Windows liscnse, they will switch. As for me, I've had enough B$ from M$.
Well, minus multiplied with minus becomes a positive. So I guess it would cancel out. On the other hand, Windows would probably BSOD when trying to multiply something. So, we get (--)-, which is -. A BSOD. Now, if the bluescreen subroutine (known internally in microsoft as "void releaseDateFixer(void)") also BSODs, you would be back in the graphical interface again. To crash the BSOD routine, you would probably need to do something as cruel as... plugging in a new printer or something.
meaning the MoBo is actually siamese twins sharing non-critical chips (err.. organs).
I predict, in the very near future, a blockbuster Hollywood buddy movie about one of these conjoined mobos: Stuck on BSOD.. Starring Matt Damon as the Chipset and Greg Kinnear as the Floppy Drive. Bound to make a mint, no chance that it will bomb...
Ok, so it's per-seat. Is Visual C++ per seat, and what implications does this have for extreme programming?
Visual C++ is per seat. Extreme Programming is not alright. Extreme Programmers are pirates. They are an evil group of people who have figured out a way to get around our DRM. But it will not be tolerated. We are hard at work, finding a way to stop them, and force the people who leech off another user's terminal to pay up. Our current strategy is to make maximum font size in Windows 6 points. Then another person will not be able to read.
This will be a huge inconvenience for all of the people who don't engace in this dispicible practice. But all you pirates out there made us do it. I hope you're happy. And by the way, did I mention that what you are doing is stealing?
Sincerely,
Actually, I can't help thinking "Share violation reading file winword.exe - this file is in use by another program. Windows will reboot now in order to free the file winword.exe for your usage [OK] "
