Artist's Note:
While I find it hard to imagine Microsoft ever going in this direction (not as badly as this comic insinuates), it would be exciting if they considered it! But who knows?
Writer's Note:
A part of me wishes that this contrived premise was true - that Microsoft's intentionally launched screwy products like the Zune or the Vista UI. Sadly all evidence points to the contrary.
Also please know that we don't just shit on Microsoft all the time - we have comics making fun of Apple as well.
