In Japan, they have replaced the impersonal and unhelpful Microsoft error messages with Haiku poetry

There was obviously a MAJOR screwup in the translation. What Micro$oft told the Japanese was grossly mistranslated. What M$ said was that "All error messages to the end user should effectively say F^CK YOU"... not haiku.

There. Had to get that straight. 8^)

Frustration and pain
Only Microsoft's browser
Is worth what you pay

Ignorant experts
Tell me to eat soup with fork.
The Microsoft way.

Bloatware is the way.
Ugly clip art adorns it,
When bankers design.

You installed XP.
We can see your private files.
Sold them. Here comes spam!

Boss thinks I've gone mad
Laughing like a lunatic
At MS haikus.

Simple verse paints truth
Still the moment
Taliban dead.

(You're right, these are cute.) I love making fun of Windows, though I'm compelled to aim my arrow at al queda swine.

A cyclone stirs now
Heading for a spot
Ligting on moonbeams?

Your post is quite nice.
But winter winds cut to bone.
While TRASH FLAMES always warm.
