"Microsoft" Jack strikes again ... another self-nuke.
Wow, read the comments. Every single one of them is anti-Microsoft.
Someone should tell Mitchell, who apparently thinks there's a surge in
Microsoft support ... somewhere ... probably emanating from the basement
at Redmond HQ. Well /somebody/ has to do it.
As for ECIS being a "front", well that would be true if the companies
behind that organisation were a bunch of gangsters, like say Microsoft
for example, but the only problem Microsoft Jack seems to have with ECIS
is the fact that they've excluded his paymaster, the Vole. Is this just
sour grapes, or is MS Jack merely acting under orders, as Sweaty
feverishly scribbles memos to all his foot solders, in light of the
Vole's latest string of brutal humiliations?
MS Jack even managed to sneak in a little advert for his paymaster too.
The Vole has just released a new line of "server" products, available at
Toys'R'Us and as the toy surprise in packets of Wheaties.
Who knew?
