Microsoft Keynote Disappointment
,----[ Quote ]
| There's little question Microsoft fans will have to look back to 2005 to come
| away with a feeling of disappointment that could equal this year's pale,
| barren effort. That was the year the company paid the audience to react to
| their announcements amongst numerous broken promises, and they probably
| needed that this year. There was very little that was unexpected during this
| keynote, and the surprises were nothing spectacular.

| friend named HP. She seemed okay at first, plenty of RAM and a pretty
| screensaver, but I didn’t know her at all.

| stable, and even had BSD syndrome, or Blue Screen of Death to the laymen, or
| lay-persons out there. It should have been no surprise that she was so sick,
| because she was continually contracting viruses from all kinds of
| indiscriminate strangers, and I was in denial for a long time about her
| frequent corruption.

The following suggests that Microsoft sucks up to the Establishment (not just
paying people) to assist its market share.
