Microsoft's Golden MomentsA collection.
REDMOND (Rixstep) — Nobody could do cool like Steve and Jony. Tim and Scott aren't too bad either. Be it from Redwood City or Cupertino, it's cool. Medical Software Overrun by Microsoft MalwareFrom October 2012. The BBC reported that high-risk medical technology has been found to be infected by malware and that lives are at risk. The high-risk medical technology is of course running Microsoft Windows - what else? Microsoft's War of WordsFrom January 2010. France, Germany, and Australia officially warn their citizenries about Microsoft products. Stupid Dumb-ass Article from Microsoft on Why Macs are No GoodFrom August 2010. Microsoft set up a dedicated domain to explain why Windows is so freaking good. The reasons given were the mothers of all facepalms. Amongst the best were: Microsoft: The Truth and the ConsequencesFrom March 2009. The EFF of all organisations declared Microsoft Windows and Microsoft products unfit for use. Microsoft's 'Operation b49'From February 2010. Microsoft neutralise a botnet not by fixing their software but by using clout in a courtroom. Their software remains unfixable. Microsoft's Rustock Reward Doesn't SpinFrom July 2011. Again Microsoft can't control what hackers do to their system, so they try to spin yet another epidemic by offering a huge reward. And do they ever spin. Microsoft: The Most Ridiculous Software Company in the WorldFrom February 2007. Has to be seen to be believed - 'call graphs' for the open source (and industry leader) Apache web server alongside Microsoft's own buggy (and highly vulnerable) ISS (which they never needed to write but wrote anyway in an attempt to bully and corner the market). Remember that both products do the same thing: serve up web pages. Now click the link below and see how truly ridiculous Microsoft software engineers are. It's not just leaky systems - it's a mindset where nothing works right. Read more... EFF: 'Avoid Microsoft Products Where Possible'From March 2009. The Electronic Frontier Foundation finally came out and warned of using Microsoft products. Uninstalling MicrosoftFrom April 2009. The worst thing that can happen to a software user is getting data locked into one single platform. The best thing that can happen to Microsoft - their express corporate strategy - is a software user getting locked into their platform.

Bad News for MicrosoftFrom April 2009. Spam emanating from Microsoft Windows PCs counted for 97% of all email traffic on the web. That Mystery Man with the Camera AgainFrom March 2009. Microsoft have a bad habit of making pretty hapless products and possibly an even worse habit of hiring pretty hapless ad agencies. Or perhaps it's just that even the best ad agencies in the world can't do anything with a Microsoft product. Lauren De Long's No PCFrom March 2009. Lauren De Long was one of the 'random people' Microsoft used for their ad campaign. Her entire SAG page is captured at the link below. CONDOLENCES, LAUREN. IT'S A MISTAKE.From March 2009. The actual ad starring Lauren De Long run by Microsoft in an attempt to lure students to buy Windows to save cash. The campaign was very embarrassing for Microsoft. Today the YouTube clip is marked 'private' and hidden from view. This is not a stable situation. |
