m$ (Majkrosoft)

(Place, tavern, firm, USA)

The thing which is both micro and soft.

I'm giving it a separate entry here only because I had mostly trouble with it all the time between 1987 and 2019. After I learned to hate DOS, learning to hate them windowses was easy.

Among the peaks of self-enamoredness is the dialog in the control panel with „internet options“. Somehow they think that anyone using a windows has the power to define settings for the whole internet, all over the globe. Wow. Of course, in the best of their tradition, it's a very stupid misnomer. It means „options for the Microsoft internet explorer“. The one place where prefixing everything with their company name isn't redundant, because it indeed was a perfect tool to explore the Microsoft internet. Not any other internet, though.

I started a topic on burundi, titled „Mali mekani“ (the little soft one), dedicated to it.

„your machine may be suboptimal“

There are no jokes about Microsoft. It's all true.
