The silence was deafening.

Just had a M$ rep call me. At first I thought I would just hang up but I had time on my hands so I indulged the tosser. After about half an hour of giving him grossly exaggerated figures on annual turnover, number of users, PC's etc and shooting the breeze he asks me what projects were on the horizon. Oh I said, right now we are deploying Linux. I wish I had a picture of his expression after that. Give the tosser his due, after he recomposed himself he carried right on. So now I get a follow up call from M$. Bloody magic.

damn, and you didn't record it?
