  1. PMSL! 😆
    Had to stop watching after a minute or so though because I felt like throwing my own computer out of the window!

  2. would it not be quicker to type it??? Microsoft – why can’t you test if first then release it?

  3. “would it not be quicker to type it???” Now where would the fun be in that?
    “Microsoft – why can’t you test if first then release it?” You clearly have no idea how the entire software industry works. Testing is for wimps, anyhow, testers are expensive and irritate your developers. Why would you hire testers when you can get millions of customers to test your product for you?

  4. This is very, very funny. I now appreciate the wonderful things … that make the world a better place.
    I, too, had to stop watching 5 minutes in because I was laughing out loud and putting people off their coding. The bit that really gets me is the gradually increasing irritation level of the speaker.
    Priceless!

  5. Glad it amused you all. 🙂
