Foolestroupe -

I take exception to you calling the Microsoft mongrels "creative." I was not using the term pejoritively.

They're more like most modern artists. I see virtually no "creativity" in their stuff. Just nasty little perverts trying to scam a buck without working very hard.

Some of the artists admit it's a scam, but most just say "you must be too stupid to understand it," and let the know-nothing critics "search for the hidden meanings" and invent preposterous "explanations of nothing" to make it sell. When it doesn't work, Microsoft just says "You're too stupid to see that's a feature." Then the critics (a.k.a. "editors") try to explain that you really should like that feature, and tell you why you want it to not work.

Same theory.
