Micro$oft

a derogot-tory term for microsoft’s evil practice of earning money!
see that strip on www.penny-arcade.com
a sarcastic reference to microsoft making fun of the company’s position as an unofficial monopoly.
a way of spelling microsoft that reflects the company’s way of being bent on owning everything.
i hate micro$oft, the money hungry b-st-rds.

48: because “everyone is doing it”. that is the wrong reason to do anything.
49: because management thinks ie is good.
50: for businesses, ie and windows 98 have no place in a business environment because of all the non-optional advertising and distracting bells and whistles.
51: because only a couple of the entries in this list are jokes. the rest are true.

58:all micro$oft cr-p is well cr-p!!!

disclaimer: i can not be held responsible for the damage or loss of data that ie will cause. anyone who installs ie because of this list deserves what he/she gets.
the long version of m$; one of the most popular nicknames for microsoft, a key member of the seattle mafia.
