MS UK has been running advert for its putatively un-crashable Enterprise Server Software showing two rectangular buildings, not unlike the WTC twin towers, toppling.

We've seen it in use on the ZDNet UK Web site, from which we grabbed the image. The ad however has now been pulled, Microsoft UK assures us. ®
