One thing though, calling Microsoft stupid is another WTF. Microsoft is successful for a reason, they're very, very smart.

RE: Microsoft goofs up again...
My God! Are you THAT biased? "All they did was start a marketing snowball" Congrats for pointing that out. That's no 'small' accomplishment as you're trying to pass it off as. All of the things you mentioned, you try to pass them off as small achievements that anyone could do. They're all great achievements that ONLY Microsoft managed to accomplish. And you try to say that they're not smart for that? Sure there was SOME luck involved, but why can't you just admit they Bill Gates is a freakin genius?

I know that, but felix is trying to make it sound like their skill at marketing is 'no big deal.'

RE: Microsoft goofs up again...
Sure, but you can't call Microsoft stupid for what one marketing person draws up.

RE: Microsoft goofs up again...
Most people simply hate Microsoft because they're big. They eventually stop caring about why they hate Microsoft and decide to call Microsoft 'stupid' and tell others that they hate Microsoft because it's products suck. I've learned to avoid questioning these people about that becuase eventually their argument turns to "n00b, microsoft = teh suck".

WTF does that have to do with the state of the Earth's environment?

Alright, so they didn't use it well, therefore it's not innovative?

RE: Microsoft goofs up again...
And, in that case, name ANY innovative software. By your rules, the only innovative software is software that was created at the dawn of computers.

RE: Interviews
@Chris F said:
I had another interview that stuck out. Ah, the folly of failing to read the job description before firing off your resume and coming in for an interview. The advertisement clearly read that the company was seeking an "experienced C# developer." We receive a resume from a VB.Net programmer with "a PhD in reality" and decide to interview him.
So he comes into the interview, and after pleasantries we get to talking about his experience. Forgetting that he was a VB.Net guy for the moment, I ask him to highlight some of his C# projects.
The poor guy says, "I don't do C#."
I ask, "Why not?"
"I looked at what I was doing, thought about it, and drew a line in the sand. It's just not something I wanted to do with my life."
"You do realize C# and VB.Net are nearly identical languages?"
"I just don't like C#."
That interview was over pretty quick.I don't see how that's a problem. Why would someone who already does Vb.net even LEARN C#? They're basically the same language; there would be no point in learning both.
