LOL take a look at the article and the BBSpot website as a whole. There are links to articles like:
"Microsoft announces ads for blue Screen of Death" "Microsoft granted patent for creating insecure software" "MS purchases evil from satan" "Feng Shui motherboard" the article i pointed to has a quote from a MS rep : ""Tough shit," said Weatherbee." the patent article contains the following great quote: ""The patent office recognized that Internet Explorer and ActiveX are a unique innovation in operating system insecurity," shouted Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer. "Once again our innovations are being recognized, and our competitors, mainly Linux, will not be able to copy our security holes. Yes!" Ballmer also screamed that Microsoft would leverage this patent to "charge excessive license fees to our competitors who also want to create insecure software."" its all a spoof, but no less amusing for it.
