Epic fail of the day, Microsoft style

October 16th, 2009 :: technology :: comment below

I love opening files sent around work in our Windows-centric environment. In particular, when I think of the Microsoft promise to embrace standards and then see these kinds of dialogue boxes, I get shivers up and down my spine.  Hey Microsoft, if you’re gonna port your crappy software over to other operating systems, the level of suck should be the same, not a little extra for good measure.

    This is typical of M/$ and their way of manipulating their competition. I’d be willing to bet they blame Apple/Mac for this before it’s over. :/
