Redmond, WA – Steve Ballmer announced today at a press conference in Redmond that Windows Vista was “the biggest practical joke he's ever pulled.”

Ballmer said the elaborate hoax, which took thousands of employees, years of secrecy and millions of dollars to pull off successfully, was “right up there with the Zune and Windows ME.”

“I can't believe how many people fell for it,” said Ballmer. “I mean didn't they have a clue when it launched without many drivers? And really, Windows Vista Home Premium? You didn't get that? What did I have to call it, Windows Vista Home Premium Deluxe Platinum Version? Would you have gotten it then?”

I believe truth and principle do matter. If you have to sacrifice them to get the results you want, then the results aren't worth it.

That's a pretty good story.

"Is this a Christian perspective?

Now where in the Bible does it say if someone does something stupid you should shoot them in the face?"
