As I said in response to your private e-mail, which was *not* insulting:
Yabbut it's a "joke" that relies not on "truth," which is what makes real humor
funny, but a distortion of truth. Perhaps in a text browser or to a color-blind
person it works, but for
me, I feel manipulated in a different way than, say, a comedian manipulates me.
At any rate, whatever "joke" is lurking in there is funny only to those who have
a psychological need to have a successful entity like Microsoft to kick around.
Makes them feel better about themselves.
