Microsoft Drops "Wow", Embraces "Meh."
After lukewarm reviews of its flagship operating system, Microsoft has cancelled it's "Wow!" ad campaign and unveiled it's new motto: "Meh."
"What is 'Meh'?" asked an unenthusiastic Microsoft spokesman Earl Focht. "'Meh' is the reaction people inevitably have when viewing our operating system. 'Meh' is not exactly exhilaration. It's not exactly confidence. It's mostly a sound of inevitability and irrelevance. It doesn't matter what your reaction is—this software will soon become the dominant operating system. 'Meh' is what people say when you hear their new computers will ship with Vista as an operating system. 'Meh' means 'I guess I can install Linux if I hate it.' 'Meh' means 'I don't have time to install Linux this week, maybe I'll do it eventually.' And 'Meh' means never actually getting around to it. Windows Vista's success is all about the 'Meh' factor."
