[humorix] We wan't your laptops. Microsoft steals childrens laptops

[Jamie Dainton <mail@dainton.org.uk>]

Hello Humorix,

      I've been building a keyboard. While looking on the M$ site I
found this bit of interesting info. It seems that if you want to use
the Win logo on your laptop you *must* give M$ one of you top of the
range laptops and one of the cheap ones. Isn't this called bribery?



Excerpt from quality (now that's a joke) book


Assemble the Self-Test Submission The following must be included in
your Self-Test Submission. Two (2) external keyboard devices. These
devices will NOT be returned to you upon test completion.
 -OR-
Two (2)laptop systems with keyboard device. Keyboard devices intended
for use with a laptop computer MUST be tested with the laptop system
in which they are installed. Provide one example of the lowest
notebook model and one example of the top model in the manufacturer's
entire line if you are providing a range of laptop systems. Systems
will NOT be returned to you after test completion. Restore disks for
each operating system tested.

All users must also swear their undying loyalty to the mighty Gates,
ruler of the world and defiler of penguins.
