Microsoft and the light bulb incident

How many employees of Microsoft does it take to exchange a light bulb?

  1. None. Microsoft declares darkness the new standard.


  2. None. As it obviously is a hardware failure, they'll tell you to contact Intel.


  3. Four.
    • The first one to screw in the new light bulb,
    • the second one to modify the socket in order to prevent Netscape light bulbs from fitting in,
    • another one to build in an automatic mechanism that blows the socket, when trying to screw in a light bulb of Sun,
    • and the final one to tell the American Department of Justice all this is "fair competition".

  4. One hundred.
    • One to exchange the light bulbs,
    • and the other ninetynine to click away the error messages.

How long does it take until an employee of Microsoft has exchanged a lightbulb?

Depends on how many broken light bulbs he brought.



This way back to the warscenes...
