The delusion runs thick like molasses through the halls of Microsoft.

Oh goodie. In other news, I just got my Bentley back from the shop. Had some naked girl mud flaps installed, a bobble head hula girl on the rear deck and bright red dingle balls hanging from the rear view mirror.
Now, I can put Zune on my Mac?. What a great day!.

75% of the students in college are using Macs. If one of them did not get that FREE iPod touch than someone may have slipped a Zune in as a joke with their stuff as they went off to college. But, who would be so mean.
