Windows XP Service Pack 2. Because we couldn't be arsed the first time.

Windows 98 Second Edition. Look, now you don't need that bloody CD to install new hardware.

Windows Vista. Even your computer knows you have a small penis.

Windows Blackcomb. We are planning the OS after Vista, which is allready a year late.

Windows ME, the Marmite Operating System.

XP Mobile. Take your errors with you.

The first FAT file system was developed by Microsoft in 1976.

Even if MS did create it, it certainly wasn't this early.

I'm not even sure it was MS who created FAT, I have a feeling it was part of QDOS.

Edit:
I think this clears up a lot of things - it's a very interesting read.

Idiot.

Seattle Computer Products made FAT12, and MS made FAT16 based off that.

 Okay, that first bit was uncalled for.  Now, continuing on, I don't see that Microsoft made that differentiation ANYWHERE on that site.  Rather revisionist, wouldn't you say? *poke poke*

Ah, but innovation through purchases is nay but business sense.  It is not, in and of itself, innovation.  ;)

I'm often asked why I hate Microsoft - "What did they ever do to you?". Well, I'll tell you. They made dodgy programs and standards which have wasted hundreds of hours of my time involving lost work in crashes and stupidity.
