Years ago my dear, late mother-in-law, working as an admin assistant, used Word Perfect for Windows. She constantly referred to it as "Microsoft".
MIL: "Hi, I'm having trouble with Microsoft. Can you help me?"It got to be a running family joke. THIS WAS IN 1989. That was 26 years ago, she could be excused. There is no excuse today.
Me: "Sure, Mom, have you been talking with their tech support or something?"
MIL: "No, no, it's this darn Control key, it won't do what I want."
Me: "Oh, okay, what program are you running?"
MIL: "Microsoft."
Me: "Microsoft WHAT? Word? I thought you liked Word Perfect..."
MIL: "Microsoft. I'm running Microsoft."
