Since folks seem inclined to rag on Microsoft, I compiled a quick digest. These are jokes which are funny, but which didn't really warrant posting separately. I post such a digest whenever I have enough entries to warrant it. Particularly selective readers will probably not enjoy the digests, and may want to killfile RHF jokes with "Digest" in the title - ed.

Microsoft has argued in court that the US government's plan to break up the
company is "defective in numerous respects, making the document vague and
ambiguous."

In which respect it's much like Microsoft's documentation.

An explosive device of some kind detonated at the Microsoft South Africa
offices in Johannesburg early this morning. Nobody was hurt and no data was
