MEMO FROM THE PREZ:

      You know, it's the little differences. Like in Europe,
   do you know what they call Microsoft Word? Le Microsoft Word.
 And Internet Explorer is called a Royale with 128-bit encryption.


The Top 9 Differences Between Working at McDonald's and Working at Microsoft


9> McDonald's: Runs a promotional game based on Monopoly. Microsoft: Runs a monopoly.

  8> One is only interested in getting product to the customer
     quickly without regard to quality. The other sells hamburgers.

  7> McDonald's: Employs many 16-year-old female virgins.
     Microsoft:  Employs many 31-year-old male virgins.

  6> Products of Microsoft employees expedite delivery of
     computer viruses; at McDonald's, they stick to biological
     viruses.

  5> You take pride that the best-selling product at Microsoft has
     a higher nutritional value.

  4> McDonald's: "Do you want to super-size for an extra 59 cents?"
     Microsoft:  "Upgrade now for $129 or your software will stop
                 working."

  3> After three years full-time with your burger buddies, how much
     are your stock options worth, fry boy?

  2> Microsoft:  Blue Screen of Death.
     McDonald's: Blank Face of Teen Apathy.


and the Number 1 Difference Between Working at McDonald's and Working at Microsoft...


1> McDonald's customers won't put up with bugs in their product.
