| You
may doubt it, but I don't. It's a moniker that implies (aside from childishness
on the part of the person who uses it) that Microsoft is a company that is all
about corporate greed. That's an unfair characterization and IMO, is insulting
to the 75%+ of Microsoft employees who spend a lot of their own time and money
in philanthropic pursuits. It's also dismissive of the actual motivation of most
Microsoft employees who I know, which is to produce software that makes
businesses and people more equipped to do what they need to
do.
This
is just my personal opinion and is in no way intended to represent the views of
my employer, which, as it happens, is Microsoft.
So
yes, there are Microsoft employees who find it offensive.

| Humz... This is going into a direction like who will define what's
funny or what isn't? Nobody can, it's personal! And there are a lot of
examples concerning the subject "humour", remind for example the issue
of a comic published in Denmark this year?

Exactly, is exactly right. You cant impose your own
humor preferences on someone because you consider it unfunny. You just
dont laugh. You can't stop bad jokes, because someone, somewhere is
laughing at them. Just not you.

Clearly there are
differing opinions about whether it's merely "slang" or whether it's an
inappropriate slur. Simpler just not to use it, don't you think? I mean, I
don't refer to the USAF as the "useless air farce" and expect its members to
think that's funny.
I don't take
offense when people refer to Microsoft as "borg" or talk about "drinking the
Kool-Aid"; in fact, I have been known to reference both myself. However, I
remember the origin of "M$" (unlike, I suspect, some of those who use the
phrase and think it's funny), and I think it's ignorant and inappropriate
for people to use it on a Microsoft-centric list.

You have to be
able to laugh at yourself. M$ is a tounge in cheek expression and
certainly a corporation like Microsoft can laugh at itself when M$ is used
as slang in its reference. Thats why wenickname really big

being conciliatory is laudable, but I think you're
missing the point. It's not wether anybody is offended or not -- the
question is why does someone come into a peaceful gathering casting
offense. Especially when it's not necessary. If someone
deliberately spits on the dinner table, do you say 'oh, well, he didn't
hit any plate, let's just forget it' ? or even worse, 'he hit
someone else's plate -- no worries.'

Hello everyone. After reading through

difference between WSH and VBScript, so if anyone could explain
that, I'd appreciate that. After browsing through Amazon, I
saw several books on WSH and VBScript, but don't know where I should
focus on. I'm also open to computer based training (CBT)
videos of any exist. Thanks in advance.

| When I was working for Uncle Sam's Flying Air Circus, *that's* what I
called it - even though I was working in a hole in the ground at Minot
AFB, ND. Anybody above the rank of E-5 didn't appreciate the name, but
that's how it was referred to amongst the troops...
Three years ago, when I was working for Space Command (as a civilian) at
Diego Garcia, we called it Spacey Command. Same situation, different
locale.
It's all in your perspective. Anybody that objects to "M$" is WAY too
sensitive, in my book. But I was beaten into submission by the
Military, so I'm *definitely* warped.
Tempest in a Teapot, I say.

You're not a fake employee, I've seen you. :-) BrettSh, too.
It's that Stuart Kwan guy whose existence I'm doubting.
(Come on, was that enough to inspire the rarity that is a Stuart Kwan
ActiveDir post? Please? PLEASE?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? ;-))

| Steve,
I am with you there. Back in the service I served on the USS
Forrestal which referred to as either the USS Zippo or USS ForestFire
due to ships track record with fires on board. I was something that we
did and never worried about it was a fact of life.

IT Guy

Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] OT: M$
When I was working for Uncle Sam's Flying Air Circus, *that's* what I
called it - even though I was working in a hole in the ground at Minot
AFB, ND. Anybody above the rank of E-5 didn't appreciate the name, but
that's how it was referred to amongst the troops...
Three years ago, when I was working for Space Command (as a civilian) at
Diego Garcia, we called it Spacey Command. Same situation, different
locale.
It's all in your perspective. Anybody that objects to "M$" is WAY too
sensitive, in my book. But I was beaten into submission by the
Military, so I'm *definitely* warped.
Tempest in a Teapot, I say.

Neither. Just unfunny and beaten to death.
But I did laugh out loud at US Chair Force when I went through this
thread earlier. That's pretty funny.
