Stupidity... Please Explain
Can anyone give me a just, understandable, and compelling reason why on this god forsaken earth that the devil spawn that is Microsoft would put software on your computer that you cannot use. No dear readers I'm not talking about incompetent, techno-phobing Luddites, I'm talking about the stupidity of Microsoft Office. For some unknown reason my mom's new computer has Microsoft Office, yet, at the same time, it doesn't. Sure the applications are there. Sure the little icons are there. But goddamnit the program isn't! Perchance you click on the shortcut to open the program and by golly it makes an effort but lo! It wants a disc inserted to download Office onto your computer.
Again... Please explain.
The rational perspective would suggest that if the purchaser of the computer wanted said software (no matter how idiotic it was) they would get it themselves and be left to their own silly devices. Not Microsoft. They want to tempt you just for the hell of it. Want Word 2003? HA HA HA! Fork over the "Please-could-you-bend-me-over-just-a-little-further" price of $399.99 for the standard edition. At that price they better throw in a complimentary tube of AnalEse. Otherwise wallow in the wasteland that is WordPad!
Bill Gates and his little army of minions are soul-less bastards. Woe be to them. Top shelf for the lot of ya!
