Complaint letter about Microsoft

My complaint about Microsoft

I've got a beef with Microsoft. Permit me this forum to rant. Documents
written by Microsoft's acolytes typically include the line, "Embracing a
system of negativism will make everything right with the world", in
large, 30-point type, as if the size of the font gives weight to the
words. In reality, all that that fancy formatting really does is
underscore the fact that Microsoft hates people who have huge supplies
of the things it lacks. What it lacks the most is common sense, which
underlies my point that Microsoft says that it is a bearer and agent of
the Creator's purpose. That's its unvarying story, and it's a lie: an
extremely reckless and grotty lie. Unfortunately, it's a lie that is
accepted unquestioningly, uncritically, by Microsoft's peons. Will
someone please explain to me what it is in our lives that can possibly
make someone flush all my hopes and dreams down the toilet? Because I
certainly have no idea.

In any case, a central fault line runs through each of Microsoft's
précis. Specifically, Microsoft's failure to reinforce the contentions
of all reasonable people and confute those of vindictive blowhards is so
repressive that Microsoft is like a Judas goat, leading us all to the
slaughter. Sad, but true. And it'll only get worse if Microsoft finds a
way to sell otherwise perfectly reasonable people the idée fixe that
"the norm" shouldn't have to worry about how the exceptions feel. Given
this context, we need to return to the idea that motivated this letter:
No one likes being attacked by bestial shirkers. Even worse, Microsoft
exploits our fear of those attacks -- which it claims will evolve some
day into biological, chemical, or nuclear attacks -- as a pretext to
repeat the mistakes of the past. If you think that's scary, then you
should remember that our real enemy is the blinkered system that made
Microsoft as logorrheic as it is. To cap that off, Microsoft is like a
magician who produces a dove in one hand, while the other hand is busy
trying to intensify or perpetuate irreligionism. If Microsoft honestly
believes that some of my points are not valid, I would love to get some
specific feedback from it. Society has paid a dear price for letting
Microsoft exploit the general public's short attention span in order to
rob us of our lives, our health, our honor, and our belongings.
Nevertheless, I can state with absolute certainty that I have a New
Year's resolution for it: It should pick up a book before it jumps to
the mingy conclusion that those who disagree with it should be cast into
the outer darkness, should be shunned, should starve. Microsoft focuses
on feelings rather than facts. Sure, it attempts to twist and distort
facts to justify its feelings but that just goes to show that Microsoft
is an opportunist. That is, it is an ideological chameleon, without any
real morality, without a soul.

Microsoft knows that performing an occasional act of charity will make
some people forgive -- or at least overlook -- all of its misguided
excesses. My take on the matter is that it can fool some of the people
all of the time. It can fool all of the people some of the time. But
Microsoft can't fool all of the people all of the time. Forgive me for
boring you with all the gory details, but Microsoft is capable of going
berserk without notice. Its loyalists probably don't realize that,
because it's not mentioned in the funny papers or in the movies.
Nevertheless, we need to look beyond the most immediate and visible
problems with Microsoft. We need to look at what is behind these
problems and understand that unlike Microsoft, I stand for progression,
not regression. Now that's a rather crude and simplistic statement and,
in many cases, it may not even be literally true. But there is a sense
in which it is generally true, a sense in which it unquestionably
expresses how I can no longer get very excited about any revelation of
Microsoft's hypocrisy or crookedness. It's what I've come to expect by
now. I would never take a job working for Microsoft. Given its
insensitive, subhuman values, who would want to? There's no shortage of
sin in the world today. It's been around since the Garden of Eden and
will honestly persist as long as Microsoft continues to rescue
absolutism from the rubbish heap of history, dust it off, slap on a coat
of cheap sophistry, and market it as new and improved. In short, I feel
we must fight for what is right. I hope other members of the community
feel the same.

This letter is a joke, I don't really mean it.
So relax and have a laugh.
