I don't know who thinks of these things let alone have the time to create them but I think it's pretty funny. I didn't want to post it here because there is some profanity. If you want a few laughs here's a link.

That's hilarious, Bob! Thanks for the link. You're right...posting it here would have touched off a jihad!

Hey Goomps! Thats not the 2006 MS Office...that's the same program I've been using for years...well maybe it is and they just changed the color of the box again!

Your probably right JJ but I see there are some features in there we could have used to end it, such the "take back flipant remark" menu item and such.

Very funny Bob.

That is really funny. My day job is that I work for Microsoft as an engineer in Microsoft's Federal Government group that sells to the US government. I have been with Microsoft just under 11 years.

Over the years I have seen all kinds of both internal and external spoofs and jokes about Windows and Office but this is one of the best I have seen...very funny

Still a WordPerfect diehard here, but I gotta admit that's one of the funniest spoofs I've seen in a looooong time! Thanks, Bob!

Best,

Michael

There's nothing better than seeing that stupid paper clip get back on it's bicycle and ride away. Back in the old days, you could use a resource editor to really screw around with the menus and other strings in a program. I used to love doing that. Then MSFT basically put Borland out of business, and stopped allowing you to modify the resources in existing programs.

Bob,
My daughter & sister-in-law used to work for Microsoft & my son-in-law still works there. I sent them your link, knowing their sense of humour, and of course they LOVED IT. Thanks for that.
