Human error, not a software error, so your joke doesn't apply.This just means more of HR needs to be slashed to compensate for the money HR lost through overcompensation.
I suggest you move into the "real world" where business doesn't owe people employment.Ever heard of an entrepreneur go "I wanna start my own business so I can provide employment to a lot of people." ??Nah, entrepreneurs go "I wanna produce my awesome product and make s**t loads of money."It's what separates winners from losers.
"In addition, the article said, "20 employees were underpaid severance, and Microsoft has now paid them what they were owed."Wow, they didn't even have to do that, since no one knew about it. Good for them.
People ditched Windows over this? Who? Did you do an extensive survey on this?s**t, I know I wouldn't go through all the trouble of getting a new OS because some f**kers I don't know ALMOST didn't get to keep money that was accidentally given to them.
