Nerd With Nalgene's Journal: Microsoft Philosophy

My dad used to work for M$, so I acquired all kinds of memorabilia. I was
cleaning out my desk a few days ago, and I found a Microsoft pin--you know, the
kind you would wear on your shirt. It looked something like this:

                                                                                                Microsoft(r)
 
``/\``/\``````/\```|/`|--```\````````/``/\``\````/`|--``/--
`/``\/``\````/--\``|``|--````\``/\``/``/--\``\``/``|--``\__ /````````\``/````\`|\`|__`````\/``\/``/````\``\/```|--``__/
 
 

`/\/\```/\``|/`|=````|>`|`|>|>| `|=`|-
/````\`/--\`|\`|_````|\`|`|`|`|_`|_`_\

MAKE SOMETHING

I'm not quite sure how this was supposed to be interpreted, but it says
to me quite clearly: if you fail, lower your expectations.
Which reflects M$ design philosophy very well, I think.

Now it sits on my shelf right next to the Rubik's cube that says Microsoft
on every single little white square.
