Ahhh, it’s a Microsoft kind of morning! I woke up, checked my Hotmail account as I do every day, and was greeted with a rather odd (yet quite humorous) series of emails from Microsoft! See the screen shot below:

An email from Microsoft with the subject “tbd” sounded rather interesting, so I started with it first. All-in-all, it was nothing special; just an OEM Partner Center newsletter dated August 16th which contained a contest, various partner-related training opportunities, etc. Next, I read the email with the subject “Updated Subject.” As you might have guessed, it was a repeat of the “tbd” email — same date on the newsletter and everything, despite the fact that it was sent the next day. I suppose the importance of it is the contest offering a chance to win a 42″ plasma TV. If you’re interested in said contest, visit the following link to read the rules and details: http://oem.microsoft.com/script/contentpage.aspx?pageid=566235

So, the long and short of it is that I found it hilarious that Microsoft sent out an email with the subject “tbd,” then sent out the same email a day later with an updated subject. Personally, I don’t see why they couldn’t have just waited a day to send out the email… or why coming up with a subject other than “tbd” was such an arduous task in the first place.

I’m just poking fun, though. I love you, Microsoft. =)

I don’t know about you, but I enjoy a break from the seriousness (is that even a word!?) and the political correctness of the journalism world, so I decided to quickly crank out a light-hearted post involving a handful of funny Microsoft-centered things. Some of this stuff, you’ve seen, and others, you haven’t. Either way, I hope you enjoy. =)

Maybe it’s just me, but this image from an MVP’s site makes it seem like Windows 7 is just a bit too, uh, excited(?) about UAC…

For the grammar buffs out there, Microsoft is working diligently on trying to push IE8 to the masses, but if you’re going to quote someone…
