Its Awesome to make fun of something that sucks

I want to see more funny things being posted about Microshit's products. You can't say "Asshole" when someone makes perfectly valid point. To market a product on the hopes of getting strangers together to share music wirelessly, only to stamp your files as Microsofts property with their DRM is something that more people should want to make fun of. I want to make a corny little site to complain about how much Powerpoint sucks. I'm sorry, but I had to do a business presentation at work, I used Keynote and a Mac, then a week later had to use a PC and powerpoint, it was the first time I wanted to just quit and find another job, its funny how there may be someone that may want to reply to this and say, "well I don't think so, my Windows PC is great, I'm a smart Windows user, never had a virus.. no spyware" - I want to laugh at Microsoft a little more. If this site keeps at least 2 Zunes from being sold I'm all for it. But really, we should all finally realize that Microsoft has forced us on thier utter crap for over a decade. I don't think the company is terrible, I just think that there should be more acknowledgement of the fact that their products are generally pretty terrible. MSNBC compared the Zune to a 2 year-old grayscale iPod, someone thought this was a good idea? These kinds of decisions make me laugh. Forcing terrible products on people, Geez, if I were to buy a Car, but Chevy went ahead and cut a deal with every car manufacterer, and said, "You have to use our Chevy Cavalier engine", So every engine bay is licensed to Chevy, you buy a BMW M3, with its nice interior, but a Chevy Cavalier engine. How would other products be if they were like Microsofts? I heard someone recently say, Its not owning a PC that makes for a bad experience, its owning a PC that runs Windows. Microsoft deserves credit for giving a lot of money to Charity, and that's about it. This should pretty much be the only thing in the news. Like what Bill is doing in Africa, building schools and such. But one dollar goes to Universal from the Zune? I would be more excited if 1 dollar went to a school being built in Africa.

Microsplot is built upon an older site poking fun at the Zune music player. But that wasn't too fun (see details). The whole world of tech is full of wonders, good and bad, and it's more enjoyable to take a crack at any worthy target.
