Microsoft: Desperately, Frantically Trying to Do Something Right

... AND so, in due course, Microsoft ended up pulling the IE8 vomit video (see my earlier comments here). Not because the company recognized poor taste when they saw it, but only "after widespread disgust at the graphic nature of the ad". Is this the first time Microsoft has responded to customer feedback? Must be, because no matter how many crash reports I send and how many updates and bugfixes I apply, Word 2008 is still crashing on me about three times a day.

By the way, did I mention that Firefox 3.5 is now out? It's got private browsing — and doesn't need clumsy attempts at being "edgy" to prove it.
