You really have to hand it to Microsoft, apart from bad software and a lousy OS, they also produce their fair share of comical material like the Get The Facts campaigns.
But the guys in Redmond are rarely satisfied with any great piece of work, so their humor department produced this very funny article in Computer world.
Their Senior Chief Clown is suggesting to put a general tax on internet-connected computers to pay for the cleanup of botnet/virus/malware infected windows PC.
Very funny and probably not so unrealistic since it would be hugely cheaper to pay for the cleanup costs of botnets than fix an OS that is broken from the ground up, I’ll give them that.
So, thanks again to MS for starting out my day on a comical note and pointing out to people once again why they should be running GNU/Linux or FreeBSD or even OS X. Though if everyone did that, Microsoft would probably run out of funds to keep their humor department… That’s the one product of theirs actually worth any money.
