Ups... that was a song, not a film

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Announcement from microsoft, July 2025:
Yes, we know that we failed miserably in our "Mobile First!" campaign, selling less phones than a barbershop, but we did manage to make great improvements to Windows, during that period, making it a lot more like the operating system you need on a cellphone!
Yes, we know that we failed miserably in our "Graphic Design First!" campaign, selling less PCs than a thrift store, but we did manage to make great improvements to Windows, during that period, making it more dependent on little pieces of junk hardware that got lost or got damaged, and that always damaged your screen!
Yes, we know that we failed miserably in our "Tiny Tots First!" campaign, selling less PCs than a fishmonger that's closed for the holidays, but we did manage to make great improvements to Windows, during that period, making it a lot more accessible to children under the age of three, by locking off or removing everything that a three-year-old can't handle!
But this time, we've got it right!
We've listened to you, our honoured customer, and heard what you've said about wanting flexibility, wanting room to make your PC your own, and wanting to to configure your PC the way that you need it!
Our new, innovative development allows you, the home user, to build your PC EXACTLY the way you want it!
We provide the chipboard, the nails, a bit of glue, and instructions translated from Swedish by Google Translate (unfortunately, the bing translation ran into problems), and you, our honoured user, can assemble the PC any way you see fit!
And you still get the same great operating system that's designed for two-year-old graphic artists' cellphones!

The flat pack came to cell phones first, even without assembly.

This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

It ain't grammar; it's style, and bad style.

Pity the argument falls down at the end; obviously written by a foreigner.

So you're saying that twelve is not less than twenty?
I look forward to reading your CP article on this.
So that I can pick holes in the grammar and word usage!

No, never said that, and never even suggested it.

That's why Britain has bayonet light bulbs -- to foil the evil machines, when they turn on us.

That could still be done with a bayonet bulb, it would have to be a much bigger more powerful drone though.

Uhm, it's an ad for their new desktop system. How else would you have them release a new product? Silently without announcements? Just shows up in Best Buy one fine morning? 
|

Its their adds that make me puke. The single best product they ever produced is Windbg, and yet it is never advertised.

Let me !analyze -v this.

Are you suggesting that Microsoft advertise Windbg on TV? No wonder you're not a marketing guru. 
This is like complaining that Nissan should not advertise their Altima cars, but instead advertise about VQ36DE, because it's their best "product". You don't walk to a Nissan dealer and ask to buy a VQ series engine, do you?
Hint: One thing is a mainstream commercial product that generates revenue (a meaningful thing to advertise), and another is a low level utility.

No you aren't, you've got two f***ing legs and breathe air.
Microsoft ads make me want to puke. Point proved.

You can't really blame Microsoft for that PoS; it was a direct response to Apple's Hello, I'm a Mac[^].
