Wait a minute... this is like building a house with a hole in the roof, then renting the buyer a tarp to cover the hole.
Microsoft = Suck-tacular! |

Analogy of the month?
Thank you, Brad. It didn't take me very long to think up... I considered making it a car instead of a house, but I thought that some smartass would say "but what about convertibles?". Always glad to analogize. (somehow, that sounds wrong...) You ask me for a hamburger. |

Am I the only one who thinks that they should have run out of holes to patch already? With tens of thousands of viruses and spyware and all that available on Windows...you think they'd catch it all eventually.
It's shocking and truly appalling that years after windows XP was released they're still finding "gaping holes" or "astronomical flaws". Come waste your time with me |

Or even worse: Microsoft has so much market share, they can get away with "planting" security holes in their OS, while not hurting sales much. Of course, they get huge commissions from Anti-Virus, malware, etc. companies to do so.
In other words, they knock holes in the roof to make the tarp companies rich. You ask me for a hamburger. |

I felt like doing an anti-Microshaft logo just for this thread.
Linkey Tell me how you like it. Edit: changed the image to a link, don't want to be an attention whore. You ask me for a hamburger. Last edited by atomicbartbeans : 2005-06-17 at 12:07. Reason: so as not to be an attention whore and offend people |

Very nice logo. Not only do you have "holes" in the logo, it also looks like a swastika.

It implies that Microsoft are only interested in dollars...geddit? No, it's not a great joke, but it is a joke, nonetheless
It's actually so widespread, many people do it without thinking nowadays. Re: the Final Solution...I thought it was about windows having holes in them...and then I stepped back a bit....crikey! |

MS may not be into genocide, but i think with their monopoly and business practices you could say they are into OS-cide or OS Cleansing
