Title: It's kind of refreshing...

...to know that Windows vexations are shared by its parent company's (former) CEO.

Classic Clips: Bill Gates Chews Out Microsoft Over XP (http://gizmodo.com/5019516/classic-clips-bill-gates-chews-out-microsoft-over-xp)

(Language in comments can occasionally be offensive, but the article itself is not crass.  Gates is remarkably polite in his flame mail.)

At least he got to send an email to somebody on the development team.  Had Mr. Gates been a real customer, he would have been told to call the 1-900 hotline number for 4 dollars a minute and be put on hold for 2 hours before getting some call center in india who tells him to reboot windows, and to do a full wipe and reinstall.

And people seriously wonder why 90% of windows users are pirates?  He would have been better off searching for his media program with bit torrent and hacking the registry like everybody else and their uncle, hahah!

I remember seeing a clip somewhere of Bill trying to do a powerpoint presentation and getting the blue screen crash, right in front of a room full of investors.  Being a snakeoil salesman is good business, right up until one catches a cold themselves...

Well, one of my favorite oxymorons is "Microsoft Works".  :D
