    Dear Microsoft: After you talked about Windows 8 being "uncrackable", I didn't expect a free download (Windows Media Center) from your own website to activate illegal copies of Windows 8. That's... quite an interesting way to fail.

        @omni You think that's bad? Over here the Ministry of Defence unwittingly revealed several passwords and login details in the background of some photos of Prince William.

          @thelastgherkin Oh wow, that's even worse than those governments which use "1234" as their main passwords.

      @xrevan86 Same, I'm quite happy with my Parabola GNU/Linux-libre right now (seeing how long that will last), but it's still hilarious nonetheless.

      @thatonestocking Don't be too angry at them (unless you paid for Windows 8), everyone makes mistakes. This one is new to me, though, but I've seen even worse mistakes in the computer world :P

      @xrevan86 I know you're a firm supporter of Free Software, and I like Free Software too, but you're not really helping the cause by attacking people for using proprietary software. In fact, you're only making it harder for them to take the cause seriously. Change should come through education, not through insult.

      @xrevan86 You're saying it with a smiley, so I know you don't mean it angry, but just saying someone's opinion is wrong without explaining why isn't really all that friendly :x
