Microsoft Product Support Services. HOWTO: Read the Fucking Manual.

The information in this article applies to:

It's a spoofed URL of course, purportedly heading to www.microsoft.com but ending up at www.hwnd.net - see the little "@" sign? However, that doesn't detract from the fact that it's funny and that we've been bombarded with emails asking us to put it up for wider enjoyment.

And so, here (http://www.microsoft.com&item=q209354@www.hwnd.net/pub/mskb/Q209354.asp) it is. References at the bottom include: HOWTO: Apply for employment with McDonalds, HOWTO: Add a #, + or .Net to your old software to keep it cutting edge and HOWTO: Read. There are also other gems on the Hwnd site (we like the OS poll on the opening page).

It's Friday so we suggest you check it out and have a chuckle. ®
