Microsoft goes on the offensive -- very offensive [Silicon.com] Poor Microsoft. They may know PCs, but they're blowing it when it comes to being PC (politically correct).

The latter snafu came courtesy of a lousy translation. Can you say "understatement?" Microsoft, not wanting to be the Archie Bunker of IT -- and tiring of the cost of political corrections -- is making some employees take geography courses so that the view from Redmond isn't so obscured.   Contact Us Sales For sales inquiries, please contact us at: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Editorial For feedback about any of our articles or to send us your article ideas, please contact us at: [EMAIL PROTECTED]     Free E-Newsletters!
