So, what is wrong with helpful software? You know the kind I mean? That lovely stuff that is absolutely sure that it knows what I mean to type better than I do. For instance, “emoticons”….

I guess it comes from greed, I don’t know, but I am constantly amazed at our shared fascination with lotteries, slot machines, horse racing, poker and other forms of gambling. Now don’t get me wrong, I like a good game of poker, hell I even like a bad game of poker, but I’ve never exceeded my limit, I’m not there to win (that’s just a nice, unexpected bonus when it happens), I’m there for the game and the company.

Another day, another Outlook crash, another lost email … when will I learn?!?!?

They almost had me fooled, I’d spent too much time in Redmond drinking some funny tasting Kool-Aid to realize that the reliability of the software I use every day had returned to the pathetic levels of yesteryear.
