Unintentional humor from Microsoft

[cleglaw]

LOL

Microsoft has launched a marketing campaign that lets any student at an Australian university buy the Ultimate edition of Office 2007, usual price $1,150, for only $75 — a discount of about 93%. But when students go to the promotion site, Microsoft Live OneCare pops up a warning that the site may be a phishing scam. The warning reads: 'Phishing filter has determined this might be a phishing website. We recommend that you do not give any of your information to such websites. Phishing websites impersonate trustworthy websites for the purpose of obtaining your personal or financial information.'"

I remember that PC World (German-language edition) once wrote that the auto-correcting feature of MS Office corrected "zzzzz" (with some zeds more or less) into "sex".

LOL... That's kinda evil 'cos it must be mean to kick around your staff by pointing at them and saying "fraud alert" for the world to laugh at.

That's funny!

I really sad that I misplaced my original Microsoft Office discs. I bought them at academic prices a month before I quit Uni. I still have my CD keys, but I can't find anyone with an install disc for Microsoft Office XP Professional Edition, Academic License (no service pack). Those bloody CD keys are very version specific.

Anyway, I'm now using Open Office. It's good, but there are many features I miss.
