"Do you think people walking in times square said "LOL!!! M$ got pwnd". NOThey'll say "What is that, some new marketing scheme?" Because 99.99% of people don't know much past where the "ON" button is."You give "99.99%" of people far too little credit. They may not be able to get rid of spyware, but they CAN read.
I was looking at the page got to "LMAO PWN3D!!!"Then I closed the page. I guess I'll never know if anyone else had interesting comments.. But I'm glad, who ever it was that posted that (I am not going back to find out), had their "ass" fall off. I hope they bleed to death. I am only ashamed I bothered to draw attention to it and waste my time making this post. I guess we all have our flaws.
Wow, did anyone read the fanboy comments that followed? Those guys need to lives; they're just computers and operating systems, not religions! The Winbloze/Linsux/Crapple fanboys ALL need to STFU, get girlfriends and join the rest of us in the real world.

Ha must've been a Mac or Linux user who submitted this story. So, as people have said it's not Microsoft's fault. Title isn't totally correct.
