jrothwell97's Journal: Abstract? Moi? Non. Je suis monseiur Gates.

It seems that Microsoft is starting to talk in vague abstract language to advertise its products. The most profound example of this is on the Microsoft Design website at http://www.microsoft.com/resources/design. If you go to the Office section of this page you get:

People spend more time with Office than the love of their life. Since thats a big sacrifice, we want our customers to love using Office. That means we spend time listening, sharing, building relationships, generating innovative ideas, and designing with our customers. The end result is software that our customers want to wrap their arms around and kiss.

So Microsoft wants you to fall in love with Office. Well... how can you fall in love with a bunch of 0s and 1s that isn't even intelligent? Answers please on a postcard...
